Alumni Association to Host Free Grad Bash
Grad Bash is only a few days away!
Be sure to mark May 2 on your calendars for the Grad Bash, hosted by the Arkansas Alumni Association. The party will celebrate all of the accomplishments of the 2017 University of Arkansas graduates.
The free event will be 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Janelle Y. Hembree Alumni House. Come and grab a bite to eat from your favorite Fayetteville food trucks before you leave your home on the Hill. Make memories snapping photos with your friends in the photo booth. Special guests will include the University of Arkansas spirit squads and DJ Derrick.
There also will be lots of opportunities for seniors to leave with Razorback prize packs.
Faculty and staff are welcome to stop by to mingle and say farewell to their seniors.
