The Big Event February 28, 2026
The Big Event at UCA is a student-led organization that provides volunteer services annually to complete projects submitted by Conway community members. The Vision of the Big Event General Committee is to involve every UCA student, faculty, and staff member in the Big Event to strengthen the bond between UCA and the Conway community by acts of selfless service.
The Big Event takes place on March 13th, 2027 this year!
Request a Service Project
The Big Event is a time when University of Central Arkansas students, staff, and faculty members along with the Conway community can unite in a campus-wide effort for one BIG day to impact our community. The Big Event impacts numerous community members in the city of Conway and surrounding areas. We offer services such as clean-up, yard work, painting, and small renovations at no cost to the community members. Job Requests are open to UCA faculty & staff, Conway residents, and Conway nonprofits. All project requests are approved pending safety review and volunteer availability.
Job requests for Big Event 2027 will open in Fall 2026. Access the Job Request Link Here.
