Hunt - Farris Faculty Development Grant - In 2006, Former UCA President Jeff Farris and his wife Patsy established a $25,000 fund designated for faculty development. In the same year, Johnelle Hunt, widow of J.B. Hunt, established a similar fund of $75,000. The Hunt grant is awarded in the Fall semester, and the Farris grant in the Spring.  Guidelines for these grants are the same as those for regular faculty development grants, except that funds can roll over into the next fiscal year and hence are appropriate for activities scheduled for the summer months.
