Hughes, A History

Hughes Residential College (HRC) was established in 1997 as Arkansas’ first living and learning community in a public university.  By promoting an educational agenda designed to connect, liberate, empower, create, and celebrate, students extend learning beyond the confines of the classroom and become leaders ready to meet the challenges of the 21^st century.  It was the Hughes-ies who started the famous residential college tradition of camping and canoeing the Buffalo River each spring!

Samson: Hughes' Mysterious Metal Man

The statue in front of Hughes Residential College is the third of a series of four entitled "Steel, Space and Struggle" created by M. Keith Jordan. This statue is called "Mid-Life Pressure." It was placed in front of Hughes in 1997. Some call it "Samson."  Can you see why?
