These events allow students to connect with peers and professionals nationwide, explore leadership topics, and gain exposure to national best practices in student success.

- Students also participate in workshops focused on three key areas:
- Academic Success – study strategies, goal setting, and academic resilience
- Self-Development – leadership skills, confidence building, and career planning
- Wellness and Financial Literacy – financial wellness, resilience, and healthy habits
Students will benefit from partnering with fellow UA Little Rock students who serve as peer mentors in the program, fostering collaboration and leadership development.
