The Strong-Turner Alumni Chapter was formed at
Arkansas State University in 1982. The chapter is named after Walter
Strong and Fred Turner, the first African-American graduates of Arkansas
State University.
The chapter is a division of the Arkansas State
University Alumni Association with a primary focus to increase the
interest and participation of African-American Alumni.
The need for the chapter was recognized by the
large number of African-American alumni who voiced a concern over the
lack of programs to meet their needs and interests.
The chapter was formed by a small group of
African-American alumni a a mechanism to meet the needs of
African-American alumni. Membership has steadily increased over the
years as the scope and programs have also broadened. |
