Southern Arkansas University and the SAU Board of Trustees are hosting a dinner event to honor Dr. David and Mrs. Toni Rankin at 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 2, 2015, in the Reynolds Center Grand Hall.
Tickets are $25 each, and can be purchased by contacting Josh Kee at (870) 235-4321 or JoshKee@SAUmag.edu. Seating is limited, so reserve your tickets soon.
The evening will feature many distinguished guests from Rankin’s past and present.
Rankin will retire at the end of this academic year on June 30. He has served SAU for 45 years, and the past 13 as president. In 2002, he set forth with his ambitious “Blue and Gold Vision,” SAU’s first capital campaign. He has almost completed that vision with numerous campus capital projects completed, totaling more than $100 million. The most recent project, the $4.4 million SAU Story Arena and Farmers Bank Reception Center, opened this spring.
