The Arkansas Tech University Department of Campus Life is releasing its First 4 schedule of events for the opening weeks of the fall 2020 semester.
“This year more than ever, it is important that we find innovative ways to engage our students and ensure they make connections at Arkansas Tech,” said Kevin Solomon, associate dean for campus life. “Active participation in our First 4 events will help ATU students with their academic, personal and social growth as they seek to become the best versions of themselves.”
The schedule was developed in accordance with safety protocols related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Face coverings and social distancing will be required at each of the in-person events listed below. Some programs are offered for multiple sessions to help promote social distancing.
Below are the events from weeks one and two of the First 4. Additional events for the weeks of Aug. 31-Sept. 4 and Sept. 7-11 will be added to this article in the days to come.
