During the first few weeks of the fall semester the campus goes “Hog Wild” during Hog W.I.L.D. (Welcome, Involvement, Leadership, & Diversity) Welcome Weeks. Your student is invited to attend a wide variety of events all designed to help them transition to life on The Hill. This is a great opportunity for you to encourage your student to meet new people and explore their new home. Also, remind them about all of the free stuff (t-shirts, food, coupons, etc.) that they can get at each event!
Popular events during Welcome Weeks include New Student Welcome, Razorbash, Back to School Bingo, Academic College Welcome Events, UARK Cardinal Nights, and the Freshman Pep Rally. Welcome Weeks activities conclude on Saturday, September 1st. Encourage your student to visit welcomeweeks.uark.edu for a full list of activities and events taking place during Hog W.I.L.D. Welcome Weeks.
