Just a few years shy of its 100-year anniversary in 2027, UA Little Rock hosted a kickoff event in its Fine Arts Building with key stakeholders to announce the public launch of its Centennial Campaign. Attendees learned of the $250 million goal and how the school had already raised nearly $163 million through the silent phase of the campaign beginning in 2017, including a $6.75 million gift to ​​establish the Yupo Chan Director of the School of Engineering Endowment and provide millions of dollars in scholarships.
