Student Involvement & Leadership fosters an environment that encourages participation, empowers students through organizations, offers diverse program experiences, and provides leadership opportunities.

 

MISSION:

The Student Involvement & Leadership propels student leaders in their pursuit of providing educational, cultural, and social experiences to facilitate campus belonging and involvement.

VISION:

To engage every student at the University of Arkansas.

 

The Student Involvement & Leadership is responsible for the following areas:

University Programs (UP)

University Programs (UP) is a volunteer student organization responsible for coordinating and planning over 100 events annually for the campus community. University Programs provides UA students with cultural, educational, recreational, and entertainment experiences. Eight committees along with committee chairs and their executive officers select, schedule, and produce events such as concerts, movies, lectures, fine arts performances, and galleryexhibits. University Programs provides excellent opportunities to develop leadership skills and to gain practical experience in a variety of areas. Supported by an activity fee instituted in 1988, the events are free to the student body.

Headliner Concerts Committee (HCC)

Headliner Concerts Committee (HCC), which is composed primarily of students, gets to make the decision on what big-name artist to bring to campus each year. Because you have already paid a per-credit-hour fee to support this committee, when concert day arrives there is NO admission fee for students. Previous headliners include Grammy winning artists John Mayer, Foo Fighters, rapper T.I., Blake Shelton, Third Eye Blind, Snoop Dogg, The Flaming Lips, Kip Moore, and More!

Distinguished Lectures Committee (DLC)

Distinguished Lectures Committee (DLC) decides which dynamic and pertinent speakers to bring to the University of Arkansas campus. These speaking engagements are completely free to all students. Some of the speakers brought over the past few years have been President George H.W. Bush, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, basketball icon Magic Johnson, author Malcolm Gladwell, Jane Goodall, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Elie Wiesel, Steve Wozniak, and John Legend.

Registered Student Organizations

Did you know that there are around 300 Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) on campus? You'll make new friends, explore your interests, and have an unforgettable college experience as an RSO member. If you can't find an existing RSO that meets your interests, you can even start your own!
