Campus Life Hosts Student Lunch, Events

The UAMS Campus Life and Student Support Services hosted two April events for UAMS students.

UAMS students were invited to Lunch at the Student Center on April 6 when students could pick from a variety of boxed lunches and cookies to provide a nice study break as we move toward the end of the Spring semester.  More than 170 students stopped by the event, and most were very appreciative of the hospitality. Said Kristy Caldwell, DrPH, student services director: “This was just a small token of love we wanted to extend to all UAMS students as we encourage them to finish the semester strongly and continue to pursue their educational goals.”

On April 16, UAMS students got messy in the “Splatter Room” at Pinspiration in Little Rock. Participants were given a canvas and gear to protect them from head to toe and got to enjoy the black light experience of throwing paint on their canvas while jamming to their favorite music. In addition to the creative therapy, students also enjoyed charcuterie boards, pretzel bites and nachos.
