Pals Program. Want to get involved with international students on our campus? Become a pal to a new incoming exchange student this fall!  As the Office of Study Abroad & Exchange, we get the opportunity to help the incoming exchange students settle into a comfortable rhythm when they arrive.  And, we’re sure you can see the benefit of having someone who knows campus, like yourself, to pick you up from the airport (if possible), take you to Walmart, show you around Dickson St., tell you where to buy cheap(er) textbooks, etc.  Well, that’s what we’d like you to do for these students this August!

So, if you’re interested in being a part of this great volunteer opportunity, visit: http://studyabroad.uark.edu/Get_Involved_on_Campus.html and fill out the form and email it back to Laura Moix, lmoix@uark.edu.  We’re trying to match our 33 incoming students with you all before mid-August, when the students arrive, so if you could have this form back to us before Monday, August 1, that would be great!  If you have any questions, please email Laura!
