The Sam M. Walton College of Business is hosting its annual Walton College Block Party from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 22, on the Linda Sue Shollmier Plaza to welcome students to campus. Free food will be served.
"I look forward to meeting our students at the Block Party every year," said Dean Matthew A. Waller. "Students should join us between classes to grab lunch, meet faculty and staff, and learn about the Walton resources and opportunities."
Students can enjoy free drinks, hot dogs, pizza, chips, and queso, along with music and informational booths set up in the plaza. Organizations and clubs available to Walton students will participate in the event.
