The University of Arkansas at Monticello (UAM) is pleased to announce a $125,000 gift to the UAM Fund from Angelia, Bennie III, Margaret Anne, Marion and Ray Ryburn. In addition to supporting the UAM Fund, the Ryburn family and their businesses — Commercial Bank & Trust Company, Connect Bank and Ryburn Motor Company — have consistently supported UAM in numerous ways. Their ongoing commitment reflects a deep belief in the university’s mission and its transformative role in the lives of students.
Their most recent contribution will help fund the university’s operational expenses, capital projects, equipment needs and special academic initiatives.
In 2020, the Ryburn family established the UAM Fund within the UAM Foundation. They have also encouraged other UAM supporters to join them in making a lasting difference for the university. Since its establishment, numerous donors have contributed to the UAM Fund, ensuring that UAM can continue its mission of providing quality education to students.
Dr. Peggy Doss, chancellor of UAM, stated, “I extend our gratitude to the Ryburn family for their steadfast support of UAM. Their generosity not only sustains our commitment to delivering quality education but also empowers our students to realize their fullest potential. The Ryburn family has a deep understanding and belief in UAM’s mission, and their commitment creates a lasting impact. We are honored to consider them partners in our pursuit of excellence.”
