Student Town Halls Invite Razorbacks to Shape Student Affairs This Spring

This spring, the University of Arkansas Division of Student Affairs is hosting a new series of student town halls designed to put students at the center of the conversation. These events are a chance to speak directly with campus leadership, ask real questions, and share what’s working—and what isn’t—about life at the U of A.

Each town hall will focus on a topic that directly impacts students, including well-being, academic support, campus safety, and getting around campus. The goal is simple: listen to students and work together to strengthen the Razorback experience.

Upcoming Town Hall

Wednesday, February 18

5:00–7:00 p.m.
MC Gallery (ARKU, 4th floor)
Theme: Student Success — Support and Advocacy

Campus leaders from Academic Affairs and the Division of Student Affairs will join students for an open conversation about the resources, support systems, and advocacy available to help students succeed—both inside and outside the classroom.

Topics will include:

• Academic and student success support: How the university helps students stay on track and connect with academic and personal resources

• Holistic support: How students can get help navigating challenges like food insecurity, housing instability, medical issues, and other life barriers

• Student advocacy: Understanding student rights, campus policies, and how the university works to maintain a safe, inclusive environment.

• A culture of care: How the university identifies and supports students before a crisis through referrals and the UA Cares system.
