Get Ready to Go 'All In' Next Week

At 6 a.m. on Wednesday, April 3, the University of Arkansas will begin its 148th birthday celebration with the launch of All In for Arkansas, the university's fourth annual day of giving.

The birthday celebration and online fundraising event is a party with a purpose that lasts 1,871 minutes in honor of the university's founding year of 1871. The event will conclude at 1:11 p.m. on Thursday, April 4.

It's ALL about participation and rallying the U of A family — on campus and around the world — in an epic outpouring of pride and support.

Faculty, staff and students, mark your calendars and make plans to join in the fun!
