Welcome from the Northwest Arkansas Chapter!
As the largest chapter of the Arkansas Alumni Association, we have a tremendous responsibility to many that support the University of Arkansas -- including students, alumni, friends and the communities of Northwest Arkansas.
Members of this chapter have made some noteworthy accomplishments -- providing scholarships for local UA students, welcoming new graduates to the working world, going to games together, and much more!
But we can do more! For 2008, we would like to host more events and take more trips. But we can't do that without you. With the right ideas, energy and resources, we can reach out and achieve more worthy goals and enjoy each other's company in the process.
