Students participating in the University Access Talent Search eat lunch on the Union Mall.
On Thursday, May 19, University Access Talent Search at the U of A hosted Campus Day 2022. Approximately 90 students in grades 6, 7 and 8, as well as school personnel from McDonald County, Missouri, schools were in attendance. Students did hands-on presentations by the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences and the Departments of Poultry Science and Food Science. Students arrived at 10 a.m. for a general presentation, broke up into groups to see presentations and then had lunch on the Union Mall.
Showcasing the U of A, prospective students got the chance to explore the campus as well as learn about future opportunities that await them as students at the U of A.
