One HBCU has an extra reason to celebrate its homecoming this week.
Arkansas-Pine Bluff was the recipient of a school-record $5 million donation from the Windgate Foundation, slated for an addition to the Hathaway-Howard Fine Arts Center. The addition will include new classrooms, studio space and gallery areas.
UAPB Chancellor Anthony Graham says the gift will be transformational for the university.
“It’s going to be a modernized, technologically advanced facility that allows our students, our artists, to really use their creative imaginations,” Graham said.
The Golden Lions will look to celebrate even more this weekend as they host Westgate Christian University at Simmons Bank Field. The homecoming game is scheduled for a 2 p.m. CST kickoff.
“We’re going to have a safe environment, a lot of fun, a lot of activities for the entire family, and I promise you we’ll have a win come Saturday at 6 p.m.,” Graham stated.
