College Access Initiative to Host College-Going Information Sessions for U of A Employees
The College Access Initiative team, a Student Affairs unit housed in the Multicultural Center, will be hosting three upcoming information sessions designed to assist U of A employees, as well as Chartwells affiliates, in considering college pathways for themselves, partners and dependents.
The team will cover steps, actions and timelines pertaining to the college search and admissions processes, as well as how to seek out financial aid. Each session will be offered in English and Spanish.
If you or someone you know has interest in enrolling in college in the coming years, but you aren't sure where to start, College Access Initiative team is here to assist you. They would especially like to meet you this fall if you're hoping or planning to enroll in school for fall 2025.
The sessions will take place:
- Wednesday, Sept. 4, at 11:30 a.m. (in person, in the Arkansas Union; room will be provided upon registration)
- Thursday, Sept. 5, at 6:30 p.m. (virtually, via Teams; link will be provided upon registration)
- Wednesday, Sept. 11, at 4 p.m. (in person, in the Arkansas Union; room will be provided upon registration)
To help us plan for materials and adequate space, please register for a session.
If you're unable to attend one of the scheduled sessions, but have questions and needs, please send inquiries to Sarah Draine, director of the College Access Initiative, at sdraine@uark.edu.
