You Are Invited to the University of Arkansas' 146th Birthday Party
Celebrate the 146th birthday of the University of Arkansas at a party from 1-3 p.m. March 29 in the Arkansas Union Mall.
Happy 146th Birthday University of Arkansas!
Celebrate the U of A in a big way from 1-3 p.m. Wednesday, March 29, in the Arkansas Union Mall. The Student Alumni Association invites the entire campus community to join them at the Arkansas Union Mall for the festivities. Come out for birthday cake, pin the tail on the pig, inflatables and pictures in a photo booth. SAA members can come by for their exclusive member party favor.
Special guests will include Miss America 2017 Savvy Shields, who is a University of Arkansas student; several local Miss Arkansas title holders; and university mascots and spirit squads.
The birthday party is the on-campus celebration for All in for Arkansas. The goal of All in for Arkansas is to celebrate the U of A's birthday by uniting all who love Arkansas by raising $187,100 during 1,871 minutes of giving back in honor of our founding year.
Cake cutting will begin at approximately 1:30 p.m. In the event of rain, the party will move inside to the Arkansas Union Connections Lounge.
