The University of Arkansas at Monticello Office of Admissions will host Weevil Welcome: College Preview Day on Monday, March 9, giving prospective students an opportunity to explore academic programs, campus life and scholarship opportunities.
The event will begin at 9 a.m. with registration in the Gibson University Center on UAM’s Monticello campus. Check-in opens at 8:30 a.m., and activities are scheduled to run through noon.
High school juniors and seniors interested in attending UAM, the UAM College of Technology–Crossett or the UAM College of Technology–McGehee are invited to participate in the free preview day.

“We look forward to sharing scholarship information and our UAM Pledge program with prospective students,” Whiting said. “Faculty from all academic areas from all three campuses will be available for students to meet with on the Monticello campus. It’s a great opportunity to have a personalized visit.”
