Posters, welcome tables, friendly faces, hot chocolate, and cookies are some of the first sights returning University of Central Arkansas students will encounter as spring classes began.

January JumpStart is part of the spring semester Welcome Students Initiative sponsored by the Division of Enrollment Management. Faculty and staff volunteered Thursday and Friday, January 10 and 11 at the Student Center, Torreyson Library, Thompson Hall, and the Lewis Science Center.

Volunteers were posted at welcome tables inside each of the four buildings to hand out refreshments, answer questions, provide directions or cheerful greetings as students head back to class.
