Several international students are continuing with their programs. They are from Bolivia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan andTaiwan . Several more will join our programs this fall from locations such as Columbia, Vietnam and Saudi Arabia.These students are funded by a number of sources including the Bush Clinton Fulbright Tsunami Relief Program andthe International Research & Exchanges Board�’s Edmund S.

Meet Our Benefactors James (Jim) Burton Blair

Dear friends of the Political Science department:

We hope that you are enjoying our addition of this segment on departmental benefac-tors. This year we have asked James (Jim) Blair to allow us to feature him. Jim�’s and Diane's contribution to the department have been legend. It is because of their gener-osity that the Diane D. Blair Center of Southern Politics and Society exists and that we have been able to hire two new endowed Assistant Professors over the last year: Dr. An-gie Maxwell and Dr. Rafael Jimeno, who will join Dr. Todd Shields, director of the Cen-ter, and Dr. Pearl Ford in their new digs on the north end of 5th floor of Old Main. To tell you a little bit about Jim. Jim graduated from the from the UA Law School in 1957, but stayed on in Northwest Arkansas to pursue a successful law career. In 1979 he was asked by Don Tyson, the CEO of Tyson Foods, to join the company as general counsel. It was in that year that he married Diane. Then-Governor Bill Clin-ton performed the ceremony, and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, served as �“best person.�” He stayed with Tyson Foods until his re- tirement in 2000. In honor of Diane, who died after a short battle with lung cancer in 2000, Jim endowed the Diane D. Blair Chair of Political Science, and the Diane D. Blair Center of Southern Politics and Society was established with the funds appropriated from Con- gress and with support from President Clinton in 2000. Jim also created an endowment for the Fayetteville Public Library which was awarded the LEED-Silver certification in 2006. Jim�’s life-long dedication to learning was instilled in him from his earliest years growing with his grandmother who quickly recognizing that he had a quick mind. Jim reminisces about the those days:�”�…My grandmother, Bessie Motley Blair, lived in a dugout over in the Gypsum Hills in Oklahoma in the 1880's or �‘90's and migrated to Searcy County, Arkansas, where the school literally was a one room school. She was a student, until they told her that there wasn't any point in her coming to school anymore because there wasn't anything anyone could teach her. So she did what people did in those days: she became a teacher. She didn't have any formal education, but she under-stood and appreciated how valuable literature was to the human soul.�” We, as faculty, share his passion. We greatly appreciate Jim�’s support of the depart-ment and its programs and hope to see him at future functions.

Eight MEST students traveled to Georgetown University to compete with over 20 otherschools in the political simulation of the Model Arab League. During the simulation, eachstudent was charged with representing the University of Arkansas's country, Palestine, oneach of eight councils, committees and the Arab Court of Justice. Palestine proved to bequite a challenge given the ongoing political difficulties that Palestine faces. However, thisexperience was rewarding and enriching, and the preparation for the model proved to beextremely fruitful in helping us accurately represent our committees.

Arkansas was represented on the Political Affairs Committee by Heba Abdelaal (IR/Spanish), on the Special Committee on Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons: KathryneDunlap (IR/MEST), on the Council of Palestinian Affairs: Cory Ellis (IR/MEST), on the JointDefense Council by junior Robert Hintz (MEST/minor PLSC), on the Social Affairs council byAlexa Nauvomish (MEST/IR), on the Economic Affairs council by Zane Muzaffar (PLSC/MEST), and on the Environmental Affairs committee by senior Vera Deberg (PLSC/Arabic),and on the Arab Court of Justice: Jacob White (IR/History).

This year's Model Arab League was again highly successful andeach student thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to travel to thenation's capital and com pete against other quality institutions ofhigher education. The guidance of Dr. Najib Ghadbian was invaluable in preparing for the conference, and in consultation during the course of the Model with all student representatives.Dr. Ghadbian spent weeks preparing for the conference out of hisown time, and chaper oned the students in Washington �– adaunting task.

The King Fahd Center will continue its commitment to sponsor attendance by University of Arkansas students at the Model ArabLeague nationals. This experience is valuable for students seeking to learn more about theMiddle East.

Graduate Nonprofit Management Certificate in the MPA and MBA programs Following national trends in professional public affairs education, Master of Public Administration programs have seen a dramatic increases in students interested in pursuingnonprofit careers. The MPA is arguably the best program for young professionals interested in pursuing such career goals. Over the past years we have slowly added to our nonprofit graduate offerings (we�’d love to do the same at the undergraduate level�—but staffing limitations do not allow us to do so at this time). Through a fortuitous convergence ofcircumstances we started conversations with our counterparts in the MBA program in theSam M. Walton College of Business. One of their faculty members was interested in developing a class dealing with business nonprofit relationships. Our strength, of course, is inexamining nonprofit public sector relationships. In pooling both programs�’ resources wecrafted a new graduate certificate called �“Cross Sector Alliances,�” which will open itsdoors to a small number of students in the fall of 2010.

Requirements for the 15 hours Graduate Certificate in �“Cross Sector Alliances�” are:

Core certificate classes (12 hours)MGMT 5213: Business Foundations for EntrepreneursMGMT 636V: (Special Problems): Business Social Sector CollaborationPLSC 5133: Management of Service Sector OrganizationsPLSC 5193: Seminar in Public Administration
