Markese Mullins

Markese Mullins transferred to the U of A from Arkansas Northeastern College and says the resources available to students and the favorable career prospects are just two reasons why he’d recommend the U of A to others from his hometown.

“Just do it,” he said. “Come in open-minded. Experience something you’ve never experienced before. Embrace it.”

During his time at the U of A, Mullins dove head-first into involvement on campus and says the numerous registered student organizations helped him feel included. As a senior, he also worked closely with the Admissions office, giving tours to prospective students. Mullins graduated from the university in December 2023 with a degree in social work and plans to attend graduate school as well.
