Top 5 (Other) Reasons to Attend GradFest

This week’s guest post is from Aresh Assadi, a counselor with Counseling and Career Planning Services. There are several obvious reasons to attend GradFest (order your cap and gown, graduation announcements, class ring), but Aresh shares a few others you might not know:

Eating popcorn

5 With all of the time and money you spent at UALR, you might us well get some free popcorn and candy out the deal. NOTE: $10 dollar butter fee on popcorn … j/k.
