Each year the Staff Senate plans and hosts this event to honor the hard-working staff at the University of Arkansas utilizing donations from local vendors and businesses. This event is made possible with the support of our generous vendors and through donoations. On the menu is hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, softdrinks, pastries, and ice cream.   

During the picnic university administrators, coaches, and faculty leaders will assist as guest servers to show their support of the U of A staff. Please bring your university I.D. cards to easily and quickly register for door prizes. Senators with I.D. card readers will be located at Gates 1 and 16 at the stadium. If you forget your I.D. that's okay a paper registration will also be available.
