This event is intended to introduce you to some of the people who work at Arkansas Tech, as well as for you to get to know your peers in a non-academic setting. We really just want you to have fun and to enjoy yourselves.

There will be prizes and bowling games, and the University provide food and drinks at the bowling alley, which will include hot dogs, hamburgers, and pizza! Please indicate on the form your food preference, so we can order the correct amount of food and drinks for the entire group. You can eat and drink what you want, but we want to make sure we have enough.
