Spotlight on Our Alumni

Alumnus Supports the Arts and International Studies in Fulbright College.

After Cleveland Burton graduated from Fulbright College in 1941, he attended Harvard Law School. During this time, he joined the U.S. Army and served as a first lieutenant in World War II for four years. After returning and completing law school, he settled in Shreveport, where he met and married Edith Rigsby, who passed away before him. The two were married more than 50 years. Burton spent 25 years as an attorney with the firm of Lunn, Irion, Switzer, Johnson and Salley. He moved to Texarkana, Texas, in 2007 to live with his cousin, Julia Peck Mobley.

Although he passed away in February, his commitment to the University of Arkansas will live on through gifts totaling $800,000 to benefit the college.

Take a Stroll Down Senior Walk

Senior Walk is the University's longest tradition in miles as well as years.

Starting with the first class of 1876, every graduate's name is etched into a concrete sidewalk that winds around campus for more than five miles.

More than 140,000 graduates are now listed on Senior Walk, a detailed map of which is shown below, or download a PDF of the Senior Walk Map.
