Southern Arkansas University will host alumni and friends of the University on June 30 at the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion in Little Rock.
The event, dubbed “Muleriders on Tour,” is sponsored by the Office of the President, the SAU Foundation, the SAU Alumni Association, and the Mulerider Club.
The event is being held this year in honor of SAU’s Centennial celebration.
“This gathering offers SAU’s alumni and friends the opportunity to network and build additional support for the University,” said SAU President Dr. David Rankin. “‘Muleriders on Tour’ is a wonderful opportunity for alumni and friends of the University to enjoy a great evening of fellowship and get the latest updates on SAU.”
Muleriders on Tour began in March at the Texarkana Country Club and continued in April at a private residence in Hot Springs Village. The event at the Governor’s Mansion will include comments from President Rankin as well as a featured presentation by SAU Historian Dr. James Willis who will speak about traditions of SAU in honor the University’s Centennial Celebration. A reception will begin at 6 p.m. with dinner following at 6:30 p.m. in the Mansion’s Grand Hall.
All Central Arkansas-area alumni and friends of Southern Arkansas University are invited to attend the event. The cost is $25 per person, and the deadline to R.S.V.P. is Monday, June 15. This is not a fund-raising event.
The next scheduled Muleriders on Tour event will be during the weekend of the November 7 “Boomtown Classic” football game in El Dorado where the SAU Muleriders will face the University of Arkansas at Monticello Boll Weevils at the city’s Memorial Stadium.
