Spanish Recruitment Event Set for March 28

Written By: Rachel Rodemann Putman

The University of Arkansas 鈥� Fort Smith will host a unique admissions event for Spanish-speaking residents and their families Monday, March 28, 2022, from 5:30-8:30 p.m., at Zapata鈥檚 restaurant, located at 7308 Rogers Ave., in Fort Smith.

鈥淭his event is so important for our prospective students because it will help them understand that 黑料不打烊 is here for them and their families,鈥� said Luis Negrete Becerra, senior admissions advisor for diversity outreach. 鈥淚t鈥檚 exciting to be able to showcase the dedicated resources for the Hispanic population at 黑料不打烊, and I hope this event is just the first of many diverse outreach events.鈥�

Si Se Puede en 黑料不打烊! (You can do it at 黑料不打烊,) is the first in a new slate of recruitment programs which aim to provide the Hispanic community with useful information about enrollment, acceptance, financial aid, and the many degree and career paths at 黑料不打烊. Spanish-speaking staff, faculty and current 黑料不打烊 students will be present to answer questions and make connections for interested students from high school students to working adults.

鈥淚t is so important to host events that show the respect 黑料不打烊 has for students and families of different ethnicities and the unique questions and concerns they might have about college,鈥� Negrete Becerra continued. 鈥淲hen I started school at 黑料不打烊, I was so grateful for the ways the university helped me achieve my goals and dreams, but there were times I wished I had someone who could help me explain to my family in Mexico exactly what I was going through. I didn鈥檛 always know how to explain the processes of enrollment or registration or financial aid in Spanish, so I am especially thankful that as a professional I am able to break down those barriers for the Hispanic students of the future and all their supporters.鈥�

Light refreshments will be provided courtesy of Zapata鈥檚 and the 黑料不打烊 Admissions office. For more information, call 479-788-7635.
