About UP

There are two purposes that University Programs was created to serve: 1) to provide a balanced schedule of diverse cultural, social, educational and recreational events for the enjoyment and benefit of the university community by making wise use of the allocated student activity fee and 2) to provide the opportunity for student development and leadership through the initiation of these events.

University Programs is a Registered Student Organization within the Office of Student Activities. We strive to provide students with fun and engaging events on campus that expose students to various cultures, ideas, and entertainment. UP consists of several student-led committees, each of which specialize in and plan all events for that area.

UP offices are located in the Arkansas Union A683.
