Dean Skip Rutherford will be honored by Arkansas Commitment at its 2015 Bow Tie Bash Wednesday, June 3. Founded in 1999, Arkansas Commitment assists in leadership development of academically talented African American high school students. The organization currently works with students from over 25 high schools across Central Arkansas and the achievements of the 2015 class will be highlighted at this year’s Bow Tie Bash.
Arkansas Commitment students have included National Merit and Gate Millennium Scholars and have received scholarships to the nation’s top colleges and universities. During the 2014-2015 school year, a team of Clinton School students completed a feasibility study for expansion into more Arkansas schools.
The event honoring Dean Rutherford and recognizing the 2015 graduates will be held on June 3 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Clinton Presidential Center. More information about Arkansas Commitment and the Bow Tie Bash is available at www.arkansascommitment.org
