U of A students continue to earn nationally competitive awards at an impressive rate including leading the SEC in the all-time total of Goldwater Scholars (49) and Truman Scholars (18), ranking in the top 15 nationally among public universities for both. The University of Arkansas also boasts one of the most unique traditions found on any campus: Senior Walk, consisting of more than five miles of sidewalks engraved with the names of more than 150,000 graduates, dating back to 1876. It is the university’s longest tradition in both length and years. Senior Walk is concrete proof of the university’s commitment to students. Founded in 1871, the university is the oldest publicly supported institution of higher education in the state and is the flagship of the University of Arkansas System.
