Lottie Richardson graduates from @ualr with a bachelor’s degree in systems engineering. She now works as a manufacturing supply chain planner for @lorealusa! When asked about her day-to-day job, Lottie says it’s a lot of problem solving and collaboration. “I get to plan @essie (a nail polish brand) materials for production.

Jonni Jones served in the Army as a linguist before pursuing a degree at @ualr. As a single mom, Jonni says balancing school and work was a struggle but the discipline she learned from being in the military helped set her up for success. Her advice for kids looking to go the military route? “When you join the military before college, you get your school, books and housing paid for after or during your service. If you attend college before the military, you can enter with a degree and become an officer instead of enlisted. It’s higher pay and they have programs to help you with student debt.” Find out more about the military route at the link in our bio! #arkansasnext #military #ualr
