Sept. 5, 2007 -- Arkansas State University will conduct its annual Legislative Day activities Saturday on the Jonesboro campus. Gov. Mike Beebe, a 1968 ASU alumnus and former member of the ASU Board of Trustees, will be the university's special guest.

"This year, we wil honor Governor Beebe, a true friend to the university and a great leader of the state of Arkansas," commented Dr. Les Wyatt, president of the ASU System.

Beebe will be recognized during an afternoon luncheon for legislators and state officials, and again at the ASU football game against the University of Memphis.

"Legislative Day represents a special time to express our thanks and appreciation to those with whom we have the opportunity to work and serve," Dr. Wyatt added.
