New Student Orientation

Where do I go from here?

You have questions about attending college, don’t you? So attend orientation to get the answers!
Orientation sessions are scheduled for all new and returning students. You will receive an invitation to attend from the Office of Campus Life, either at the email address you entered when you completed the UALR online application or at the mailing address you provided. You will be able to participate in online orientation from the comfort of your home - and then you can still attend a session on campus to get all your questions and concerns answered.

Come on and:

  • Learn about campus resources and services before your classes begin — Don’t wait to utilize what’s here for you.
  • Tour the campus — Find out where your classes are located.
  • Meet some faculty and staff members — You’ll get answers to your questions and be able to discuss any concerns you have.

You will also receive a packet of campus publications and material when you attend — It’s good to know what’s expected of you and what you can expect from UALR!

Movie: Cadillac Records
Thursday, February 19, 2009
7:00 pm - Donaghey Student Center Meeting Rooms

Directed by TV veteran Darnell Martin, the musical drama Cadillac Records documents the compelling true-life story of the Chicago record label that helped the world discover such legendary artists as Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter, and Chuck Berry. Founded in 1950 by Leonard Chess (Adrien Brody), Chess Records quickly gained a reputation as home to some of the most talented and influential blues artists ever to step into a recording studio. But giving these musicians an opportunity to bring their music to the world was no easy task, because along the way there was enough sex, drugs, and rock & roll to ensure that things around Chess Records never got boring. Featuring Jeffrey Wright as Muddy Waters, Gabrielle Union as Geneva Wade, Beyoncé Knowles as Etta James, Mos Def as Chuck Berry, Cedric the Entertainer as Willie Dixon, and Eamonn Walker as Howlin’ Wolf.
