The co-curricular experience plays a
critical role in the development of students at
the University. With a wide variety of
programs, activities, and over fifty student
organizations available to them, UAM students
are able to take an active, hands-on approach to
learning life skills. These opportunities are
provided to encourage student participation, to
experience various cultures and entertainment
events, and to promote the maturation of
students. In addition, the University offers a
series of special events and programs to
students. These include Homecoming, Spirit
Week, Greek Week, cultural awareness and
diversity programs, concerts, comedians,
leadership development, and community service
projects. Many of these activities are planned
and coordinated by the Student Activities Board
(SAB) and Student Government Association
(SGA).

The Upward Bound Program is a federally
funded program sponsored by the U.S.
Department of Education. The Upward Bound
Program is designed to increase motivation,
raise educational aspirations, and provide basic
academic skills which will enable program
participants to enter and succeed in a postsecondary
institution.
High school students from five counties in
southeast Arkansas come to the University
campus 26 times during the academic school
year and live on campus for six weeks during
the summer. The program provides the students
with basic skills instruction in the areas of
English, science, mathematics, reading, and
study skills. Upward Bound also offers the
students counseling in personal, academic, and
career areas and provides cultural and recreational
activities.
