The University of Arkansas - Fort Smith’s annual Junior Den Day on April 3 at the Stubblefield Center gives high school juniors a chance to learn more about both UAFS and the college experience.

Dr. Paul B. Beran, UAFS chancellor, will welcome students at 9:30 a.m. The event will run until 12:30 p.m. and is free for students and parents.

Todd Koch of Greenwood, admissions officer at UAFS, said the event “is a great opportunity for local juniors in high school to gain information about the college process.”

“The Admissions Office hosts this event that gives these students information regarding financial aid and scholarships available, the importance of getting involved in organizations, as well as a plan for discussing majors and a career field,” he said.

“These students are the future leaders of Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley, and it is important they receive every opportunity to succeed with the right resources,” Koch added. “We are excited to give these kids the chance to prepare themselves for further educational opportunities.”

Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 9:15 a.m. Students can sign up for Junior Den Day by visiting http://admissions.uafs.edu/admissions/den-day. For more information, contact the Admissions Office at 888-512-LION or 479-788-7120.
