GEAR UP Day is an immersive, on-campus experience that will serve approximately 3,300 rising high school freshmen and sophomore scholars from across Arkansas. The purpose of the day is to expose students to a wide range of career pathways, while helping them understand the skills, training, and real-world applications that lead to sustainable and in-demand careers.
