The campus community is invited help celebrate the career legacy of professor emerita Margaret Clark from 4-6 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 27, in the Razorback Room of Fulbright Dining Hall. Fulbright Dining Hall is located in Morgan Residence Hall.

Light refreshments will be served, and there will be a display of pictures celebrating her pioneering role at the U of A. In 2019, nearby Clark Hall was named in her honor. Tours of Clark Residence Hall will be given, and a program of various speakers will begin at 4:30 p.m.

Clark became the first Black woman professor at the university in 1969. She taught in the Foreign Languages Department from 1969-1998.

Though retired, Clark remains active in the Fayetteville community as chair of the Diverse Voices Committee of the Washington County Historical Society.
