Earth Day 2013 Call For Vendors

The office for sustainability, in conjunction with the Arkansas Union Advisory Committee, will host an Earth Day Vendor Fair on Earth Day, April 22. Community members, organizations, or student groups tied to sustainability or the environment are invited to have a display booth located in the University of Arkansas International Connections Lounge. Organizations are encouraged to share research, products, ideas and services offered.

There is no cost for vendors to participate and sales are prohibited. The registration deadline is April 17, and space will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to approximately 30 entities.

“This is an excellent opportunity for organizations to highlight their work and for student organizations to recruit additional members.  Thousands of students, staff and faculty walk through the International Connections Lounge each day.  If you have an important message to communicate to a broad audience, you need to be at the UA Earth Day Vendor Fair,” said Carlos Ochoa, director of the office for sustainability.

Located in the International Connections Lounge of the Arkansas Union, the event will be held from 10:00- 2:00. If you would like to participate, please register here.

Last year, approximately 30 vendors provided information or displays about environmentally conscious products, outdoor activities and services.

All questions should be directed to sustain@uark.edu.
