The latest figures show that more than 1,000 high school and transfer students and guests have registered to visit the University of Arkansas at Little Rock campus for its upcoming Discover UALR event Friday, Oct. 25.

The impressive numbers reflect the excitement that prospective students have about UALR, according to Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Management Dean R. Kahler.

“Students see the value of getting a quality education paired with an amazing experience in a metropolitan city setting. Both UALR and Little Rock have a lot to offer them,” he said.

On-site registration for Discover UALR starts at 9 a.m. at the Jack Stephens Center. The program begins at 10 a.m., and lunch will be provided for all participants.

The day-long event allows potential students and their families the opportunity to meet current students, faculty, and staff to learn what it takes to become a UALR Trojan.

The event includes campus tours and a chance to speak with representatives to learn about scholarships and academic programs. Scholarships will also be given away to winners of the Discover UALR photo contest.

Parking is available in Lots 13, 14, and 16 and in the public parking deck. Campus and parking maps may be viewed at ualr.edu/map.

Online registration is now closed, but students can register in person on the morning of the event.
