FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The state of Arkansas has long been known as the “land of opportunity,” and that surely will impact Sam Pittman’s legacy at the state’s leading educational institution.
Upon landing at the Rogers Municipal Airport, the first logo you notice is that of Walmart. The headquarters for this international colossus are but eight miles away in Bentonville. Riding into Fayetteville to the University of Arkansas, you pass through the agricultural campus, which is dominated by research facilities that reflect the generous financial support of Tyson Foods.
