WMSD Students Tour University of Arkansas, Pine Bluff
WMSD high school students were back on the road for the last college tour of 2024. This time they headed to the delta area of Pine Bluff, AR to tour the University of Arkansas’ Pine Bluff (UAPB) campus. There were approximately 39 students on this tour. Once the students offloaded the bus, they were greeted by Justin Harmon, Asst. Director of Recruitment, who took the group to listen to speakers about the college. After the presentation, the students ate lunch in the dining hall on Soul Food Wednesday. With full bellies, the group toured several buildings and classrooms across the campus.
This tour was exciting for the students because this was their first visit to a Historically Black College and University. Students commented that they appreciated the family atmosphere, seeing people that looked like them, the short distance between buildings, and the excitement of campus life. UAPB was kicking off homecoming week, so the students were able to see the types of activities the campus had including a step show and a fashion show. Approximately 15 of the students are considering enrolling at UAPB and some even started their paperwork. Thank you to the faculty and staff of UAPB for hosting and especially the cafeteria staff for serving delicious food which the students really loved.
