For our April college highlight, we featured the University of Arkansas Little Rock. Student athletes and coaches from UA Little Rock greeted students in the morning, had a college focused Q&A with the older students, and read to younger classes. It was a great day learning about UA Little Rock and having representatives from UA Little Rock athletics department in the building.
