Inaugural Arkansas Alumni Association Day of Service

On Aug. 8, Razorbacks across the country will come together for the inaugural Arkansas Alumni Day of Service, a nationwide effort to strengthen our communities while celebrating the spirit that connects us all.

The association encourages alumni, students, families and friends to turn Razorback pride into action through volunteer projects hosted by alumni chapters, alumni societies and community partners. Whether serving on campus, supporting a local nonprofit or helping improve local communities, participating volunteers will be part of a collective impact that extends far beyond a single day.
