Night of Distinction

Night of Distinction is the annual awards gala of the University of Central Arkansas, and the only black-tie event of its kind in Conway. Night of Distinction will also honor past and present recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Award and Alumni Service Award. In addition to recognizing these individuals for their achievements, Night of Distinction will also serve as the public announcement of the Honors College Campaign that will raise $3 million for the Travel Abroad Grant (TAG) and Undergraduate Research Grants for Education (URGE) programs.
