University University Programs sponsored a wide range of events this year to satisfy the entertainment needs of the diverse student population at the UA. University Programs is here to provide entertain¬ ment for the campus so students will enjoy their college experience a little more, said Ryan Allen, president of University Programs. [University Programs] gives students the opportunities they might not normally have to see plays, Broadway musicals, big name come¬ dians and concerts. Some of the more popu¬ lar events this year includ¬ ed Redeye, an all-night party held in Arkansas Union, the Broadway musical Big and cabaret singer Dixie Carter. Many of these events were held in the Walton Arts Center due to the renovation of the union. University Programs also provided an opportunity for students to gain valuable leadership skills. University Programs members and volunteers included students with majors ranging from home eco¬ nomics to art to business, Allen said. We provide a lot of leadership experience which they will use in the future once they leave the university and get a job. University Programs also sponsored the movies that were shown in the Union Video Theater, the Mr. I Ier and Mrs. Him Pageant and performance by the Goo Goo Dolls and the I Iarlem Globetrotters in Barnhill Arena. Fve been to a lot of events sponsored by University Programs this year, freshman Daniel Andrews said. They give students the opportunity to relieve some stress and have a little fun. It was also a good way to meet people from other majors, people you wouldn ' t normally meet because you never have any classes with them. Volunteering for University Programs was also a great way to get involved in making a positive state¬ ment on campus, and have fun while doing it. I wanted to be involved and make a change on campus, Allen said. I was able to do that through University Programs. — Kate Shepard University Programs is here to provide entertainment for the campus so students will enjoy their college experience a little more.
