The Arkansas Alumni Association, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization that seeks to connect alumni, friends, and students to the University of Arkansas. Often considered the point-of-contact, the Janelle Y. Hembree Alumni House is strategically situated on campus across from Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
Beginning with its founding in 1878, the Association has played a significant role in campus growth, marshalling financial support, establishing scholarships, providing inclusive alumni programs and encompassing students as future alumni. Traditional fixtures such as Homecoming, the UA Foundation, the Annual Fund, the University Ring and privately funded scholarships originated with the Association.
The Association is governed by a 33-member Board of Directors, which sets alumni policies and programming. In addition, the Association reports to, and is a part of, the UA's Division of University Advancement.

UA Traditions
Like most families, the University of Arkansas has its own traditions; some have been around for a long time and some not so long. One thing stands true, all of our traditions are an important part of the heritage and pride of this institution. The Arkansas Alumni Association prides itself in honoring and upholding these traditions and passing them down to future generations.
Board of Directors
From its founding in 1878, the Arkansas Alumni Association's mission has been to promote the cause of higher education, and the University of Arkansas in particular, among the graduates, former students, and friends of the University. That mission is no different today.
