Class of 2013
Welcome, Mulerider Parents of the Class of 2013!
Although summer is just getting started, the school year is still quickly approaching. In order to help your students prepare for their first semester, Southern Arkansas University will be hosting BAM! (Becoming a Mulerider). BAM is a great way for students to get to know other students, as well as staff and faculty. They will also have the opportunity to make preparations for the upcoming school year, including making their fall schedule, getting their student ID, and becoming more acquainted with the campus. If needed, they will also have the chance to get meningitis and MMR immunizations.
For a Parent’s Schedule of BAM activities, you can visit the Parent’s Track.
Your student can schedule for BAM Part 1 by sending an e-mail to bam@saumag.edu or by contacting the Academic Advising and Assistance Center at 870- 235-5175. There will also be a special meeting for parents, where you will have the opportunity to learn everything your student is learning during their BAM sessions.
