HESC Highlights
The School of Human Environmental Sciences program proudly celebrates Dr. Margaret L. Bogle, a trailblazing alumna recently inducted into the Arkansas Women’s Hall of Fame Class of 2025.
A native of Grapevine, Texas, and raised in Arkansas, Dr. Bogle graduated as valedictorian at age 15 and earned her degree in home economics and vocational education from the University of Arkansas. She went on to earn a graduate fellowship in human nutrition from the University of Tennessee.
Dr. Bogle broke new ground as the first full-time registered dietitian at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, where she helped establish one of the first infant formula labs in a U.S. hospital. Her research with UAMS set new standards for pediatric nutrition, and her leadership helped elevate the dietetics profession across Arkansas.
Beyond her clinical impact, she championed women’s leadership—serving as chair of
the first Arkansas Board of Dietetic Licensure and co-founding the Women’s Foundation
of Arkansas.

In 2025, Dr. Bogle's lifelong dedication to nutrition science and women's leadership was recognized with her induction into the Arkansas Women’s Hall of Fame. This honor celebrates her transformative impact on public health and her unwavering commitment to empowering women in science and academia. Read More Here
