Senior Walk
The University of Arkansas boasts one of the most unique traditions found on any campus: Senior Walk. Consisting of miles of campus sidewalks engraved with the names of our graduates and dating back to the first graduating class in 1876, Senior Walk is concrete proof of the university's commitment to students. Adding a name takes time and dedication, but these resources make it easy to explore the walk or find a name.
