The grant will work to ensure that more students have a better chance of staying in school and obtaining a market-valued credential. 3 Joseph O’Neal Scholarship Fund gives students a running start When four PTC math and science faculty members participated in the Little Rock Marathon in March, their goals were greater than crossing a finish line. They honored the memory of a former PTC student and raised money for a scholarship fund at the college. The scholarship is named in honor of Joseph Lee O’Neal, who was 29 years Joseph O’Neal old when he died in 2009. Joseph, who grew up in foster care, found his “family” at Pulaski Tech, where he attended classes and was a workstudy student in Student Services. He was studying to be a social worker. The Joseph O’Neal Scholarship Fund was established to honor him and provide scholarships for needy students. Four $500 scholarships were awarded in 20102011, and one scholarship was awarded last year. Five $500 scholarships will be awarded to students this year because of a renewed effort coordinated by Dr. Don Kuonen, PTC instructor of biological sciences. Three additional faculty members from the Division of Mathematics/Natural and Social Sciences - Candace Pierce, sociology instructor, and Ginny Wood and Shannon Wilcox, health/nutrition instructors – ran in the Little Rock Marathon with Dr. Kuonen. PTC Students awarded more than $50,000 in scholarships in 2012 Following 2012 scholarship interviews in April and November, the PTC Foundation Scholarship Committee awarded 68 students with funding for tuition and tools. Darwin Buehler led the PTC Foundation’s Technical and Industrial Programs committee, and Ed Staley led the University Studies interview committee. Scholarships were awarded from the following funds: Argenta City Club, Arkansas Pontiac Association and Classic American Muscle Car & Street Association Ben Garcia Memorial, Caterpillar Dealer of Excellence, Crain Automotive Team of Dealerships, Fred Darragh Foundation, Joseph O’Neal Memorial, Business of Art, Rotary Club of Little Rock, Saline Regional Waste Management District, Simmons First National Bank, Television Broadcasters of Arkansas, 3M Industrial, UALR Children’s International, Windgate Foundation, Mitchell Williams Law Firm and the Jordan Allen Ball Memorial. 4 PTCF Golf Tournament Exceeds Goal Pulaski Technical College Foundation (PTCF) held its annual golf tournament, in memory of past college employee P. G. Bradford, on Aug. 27. The event was sponsored by Innerplan Office Interiors and Subway Development. The tournament, which was held at the Country Club of Arkansas, raised more than $36,000, with a sellout crowd of 24 morning teams and 22 afternoon teams. Chick-fil-a provided breakfast, and Whole Hog of North Little Rock catered lunch. One highlight of the day was the ball drop - 410 balls dropped out of a helicopter over the practice green. The ball that landed in the hole belonged to Tony DeMarco with Airetech Corporation. He walked away with $1,000! Funds raised from the tournament are designated for the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Capital Campaign.

Pulaski Tech receives $1.25 million to help college-bound veterans The U.S. Department of Education recently announced that PTC was one of 37 sites in the United States awarded a grant to serve veterans through a Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) program. PTC will receive $250,000 a year for five years to prepare first-generation military veterans to enroll in and graduate from college. VUB staff will provide tutoring, advising, preparation for college entrance exams, personal and academic counseling and guidance through the college application and financial aid processes. The grant period began Sept. 1 and will support providing services to 130 veterans each year. "The number one thing we do is provide tutoring to veterans," said VUB Director Jackie Johnson. "Once they complete tutoring, we help them with the college entrance process, the admissions and financial aid applications and the course selections. We do quite a bit of personal and educational training." Business of Art honors Russell Harrington, Jr. and Robyn Horn Pulaski Technical College Foundation honored Russ Harrington, President and CEO of Baptist Health and celebrated Arkansas artist Robyn Horn at its annual Business of Art event on March 15. More than 275 guests bid on a variety of art items in the silent auction, watched "live" artists paint and sculpt and listened to a short program. They also enjoyed food by the PTC Arkansas Culinary School and sipped drinks provided by Glazer's Distributors of Arkansas. Phyllis Brown, event chairperson, reported that Business of Art raised more than $72,000. Proceeds will provide scholarships for students and help support the new Fine Arts and Humanities center.

The energy efficient structure will have LEED Silver certification.

The video also won a gold National Council for Marketing and Public Relations District 4 Medallion Award and a national NCMPR Paragon Award. 5 PTC celebrates staff and faculty campaign success PTCF staff hosted a Faculty/Staff Campaign Celebration on August 29 to recognize employees who donated to the fundraising effort.
