Assistant Vice Chancellor's Office

"On behalf of all University Housing staff, welcome to the University of Arkansas. Central to the residential life experience is the community in which you live. Many students have never lived away from home or shared a room before coming here. It is normal to be anxious about what the experience will be like. I encourage you to take advantage of the leadership and involvement opportunities and academic resources available here on campus.”

Jon Shaffer, Assistant Vice Chancellor for University Housing
