National Park College (NPC) Honors student Charles Johnston attended the Honors Arkansas
Forum on Dissent and Protest. The forum was hosted by the University of Central Arkansas
(UCA) and led by Dr. Whit Barringer. The forum offered students the opportunity to
discuss the origins, forms and outcomes of dissent since the 1960s.
Johnston said, “This has been an intriguing course that is highly relevant to the
events occurring present-day.”
"Charles did very well overall in the Dissent and Protest class. We thank him for
participating in our little experiment. We learned a lot from the experience and look
forward to working with other institutions as future topics emerge," said Dr. Patricia
Smith, dean of the Honors College at the University of Central Arkansas.
Dr. Christopher Thrasher, director of the Honors Program at National Park College,
said, "We are delighted to see an NPC honors student collaborating with honors students
from around the state. We thank our partners at UCA for allowing NPC students to participate
and we look forward to working with the Honors Arkansas organization again in the
future."
