The UAM Student Nurses' Association (UAM SNA) recently received the Stellar School Chapter Award at the 74th National Student Nurses’ Association (NSNA) annual convention.

UAM SNA attended the convention in Houston, Texas, from April 8 to 11. The delegation included Brianna Barnett, instructor of nursing at UAM; Kaitlyn Clark, a senior from Hamburg, Arkansas; Jacob Courson, a junior from Star City, Arkansas; Ashley Owen, instructor of nursing clinicals at UAM; Graci Philips, a senior from Star City, Arkansas; and Emma Scott, a junior from Magnet Cove, Arkansas.

Destiny Allison, assistant professor at UAM and advisor of UAM SNA, said, “I am incredibly proud of my SNA students. The compassion and dedication they show to this community speak volumes about who they are and what nursing truly represents. Nursing is more than caring for the sick; it is about serving others, uplifting their communities and making a difference wherever there is a need. Watching these students grow into future nurses who lead with not only skill but also with their heart is truly inspiring.”

Mallory Jackson, a junior from Monticello, Arkansas, noted, “SNA has helped me better understand what it means to represent nursing in a positive and professional way. Through community service and involvement, we were able to show compassion and leadership. I feel like our organization reflected the values of nursing and helped create a strong and positive image of the profession.”

In addition to the Stellar School Chapter Award, UAM SNA received three awards at the Arkansas Nursing Students' Association (ANSA) convention in September 2025 for their efforts to serve their community and support fellow nursing students. They won the Breakthrough to Nursing Award, the Image of Nursing Award and the Outstanding Newsletter Award.
