The University of Arkansas and the Associated Student Government are celebrating the 16th year of selecting a family to represent the university as the model Razorback family.

Selection of the Honorary Family is not based on contribution to the university, but rather on the support that the family provides to students regarding their success at the university.

The Honorary Family will receive tickets to the chancellor's box for the Arkansas Razorback football game versus Troy on Sept. 17 and will be honored during the pregame ceremony. The family will also receive hotel accommodations for the weekend and will have the opportunity to participate in the great events of Parent and Family Weekend.

Applications for the 2011 Honorary Family are now available in the office of student activities and are due by noon Thursday, Sept. 8, to the office of student activities, Arkansas Union, Room A665.
