Read the May Issue of the Student Affairs Bulletin
Student Affairs Bulletin
The Student Affairs Bulletin is the official blog from the Division of Student Affairs. Each issue contains stories about Student Affairs, written by staff and students working in the division.
The May issue was sent to subscribers on Saturday, May 1, and covered a variety of topics from how the Pat Walker Health Center dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic to the "Schools of the SEC Food Fight," a program started by a student to help fill the food pantries of schools in the Southeastern Conference.
The Bulletin newsletter is typically sent to subscribers the first Saturday of the month, with 8-10 newsletters each year. Our next issue will be sent out in August. If you would like to receive the Student Affairs Bulletin newsletter please send an email with the subject line "Subscribe" to Scott Flanagin, executive director of communications for Student Affairs at sflanagi@uark.edu.
