Arkansas Union Advisory Committee

The Arkansas Union Advisory Committee (AUAC) makes recommendations on the formulation of policies and operations of the Arkansas Union, the allocation of Union space, and acts as an advisory body for administrative and business functions of the Union. The AUAC is comprised of an executive board of students and a full committee of appointed students, faculty, and staff members from across campus.

The AUAC is a great opportunity to be involved in a major part of the University of Arkansas experience. We will be hosting several events on campus this year, and hope to make an impact on the Union and the University of Arkansas!

Want to learn more about AUAC and make an impact? Contact Sophia Schmidt (unionga@uark.edu) or Gabi Gies (ghgies@uark.edu).
