American and international students are invited to the UALR International Mixer at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 20, to meet and greet each other in a  social venue.

“We will be signing up students interested in joining a new UALR International Student Association, which is open to all UALR students,” said Dr. Jacek Lubecki, associate professor of political science and sponsor of the student association. “We will also be holding elections for student officers. All UALR students and faculty are welcome to attend.”

Refreshments and Middle Eastern food will be served free of charge. Students should RSVP by Wednesday, Oct. 13, to help with estimates of food needs.

“But if folks don’t reserve in time, that doesn’t mean they cannot attend,” Lubecki said.

The event is hosted by the Office of International Services, the International Studies Program, and the Middle Eastern Studies Program.
