That really shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering her family’s legacy at Arkansas State University. The Hall family has deep roots at Arkansas State. Her grandfather, Ray Hall Sr., worked closely with Dr. Carl R. Reng and Dr. Eugene Smith. Her dad, Dr. Ray Hall Jr., was SGA president when Arkansas State College became Arkansas State University. Dr. John Hall (her uncle) teaches in the Department of Psychology; Cathy Hall, (an aunt) teaches in the nursing program; and her sister taught in the Department of Music. There are Halls spread throughout campus.
