Call for Senior Awards Recommendations
The Arkansas Alumni Association has recognized the outstanding achievements of each senior class for more than 50 years, and we look forward to honoring the newest class of exceptional students. In honor of the university's founding date of 1871, 71 outstanding graduating students will be selected as Seniors of Significance.
Recommendations are being accepted from faculty, staff, students and alumni.
Recommended students should be seniors graduating December 2020, May 2021 or August 2021. Students will be scored based on academic excellence, demonstrated leadership, and co-curricular involvement.
Many students do not apply unless they are recommended, so please help us make sure all of our outstanding seniors are recognized! Submit recommendations online through this online form by 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 20.
For more information about this awards process or application process please visit the Senior Awards Page at arkansasalumni.org/seniorawards.
