Autumn Lewis, ASG chief of staff, noted, “This year’s Health Week events are designed to help the mind, body, and soul of Arkansas students. They are the perfect opportunity to re-energize New Year’s resolutions or get in a healthy frame of mind before the semester gets too busy.”

These events are free to current University of Arkansas students who pay the student activities fee. Students must show ID for entrance. Admission for general public and non-fee-paying students is free and contingent upon seating availability and will be on a first-come, first-serve basis after fee-paying students are admitted.
