Walton College welcomes students back to campus each year through the event to showcase student clubs, administrative departments and opportunities at the college. Drop by the plaza to meet Walton College faculty and staff.
This year, thanks to the generosity of the Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Bottling Company, students have the chance to win a door prize including one Monster Energy drink branded mountain bike, one vitaminwater cooler or four smartwater skateboards. For an opportunity to win, students must complete a Block Party passport. Students collect passport stamps at specific tents to be eligible for the drawing.
