UCA students, faculty and staff have been assisting with clean-up efforts for victims of tornadoes that struck Arkansas on February 5. An initial group of 20 individuals went to Clinton, Arkansas on February 9 to assist with clean-up. The following Saturday, February 16, another 50 to 60 individuals went to Clinton to work in a relief center.

Other UCA affiliated groups have organized donation drives and clean-up efforts for Atkins, Arkansas and other parts of the state.
