Explore the Walton College Alumni Network

The Walton College alumni network is a fast and friendly way to start building professional contacts. In this down economy, the stronger your connections, the more likely you are to find employment after graduation. This virtual scavenger hunt is designed to introduce you to the Walton College alumni network through various communication and networking avenues.

The grand prize winner and (5) of his or her friends will receive exclusive invitations to alumni events held throughout the year allowing for many opportunities to network with prominent Walton College alumni. He or she will also receive a $50 gift card courtesy of First Security Bank and a $50 gift card courtesy of Dillard's.

But that's not all! This year, our runner-up will also receive a $50 gift card from First Security Bank and a $25 gift card from Dillard's.

The scavenger hunt will end at midnight on Wednesday, September 1. Completed submissions emailed to alumni@walton.uark.edu before the deadline will be entered in the drawing for the grand prize and will receive a Walton College goodie bag and an invitation to select alumni & student events. You must be a current Walton College student to win. Members of the Student Alumni Association and First Security Bank account holders are eligible for additional entries in the grand prize drawing.

The first step in exploring the Walton College alumni network is to watch the YouTube video below. Save the link to this blog in your favorites or follow us through an RSS feed. This is a great spot to find news and advice from our alumni.

Benefitting the Walton College Alumni Society Scholarship Fund

$30 for Arkansas Alumni Association members
$35 for non-members

The Walton College Alumni Society is cooking up plans for the second annaul Bon Appetit event, which will showcase the hidden talents of our alumni and provide support for a needs-based scholarship. This is not your typical business networking reception! We have scouted out the Walton College’s finest foodies in Northwest Arkansas to compete for top-chef status and will be donating a portion of ticket sales to the Walton College Alumni Society Scholarship. So rather than sitting at home and watching celebrity chefs and food competitions on television, come out to enjoy an evening with fellow graduates. A ticket to the event will guarantee an evening of good food, drinks, networking opportunities and, best of all, support for a good cause.

Here is how it works. Our celebrity caterers will dust off their famous family recipes, slave over their stoves, and make your mouths water with their delectable treats. All you have to do is come to the event, eat, drink, and vote on your favorite. Your admission to the event will grant you (5) tokens to use for voting. If five tokens just isn’t enough to express your epicurean preferences, you may purchase more at the event. You’ll feel good about all those extra votes since all of the proceeds will directly benefit the scholarship fund (and are tax deductable)!

To register for the event, visit this page.*
or call 479-575-5425

Check back here over the next month to get the periodic sneak peak of our celebrity caterers and their recipes for success!

*Please note that you will need a username and password to login to the online registration site hosted by the Arkansas Alumni Association.

If you would rather register over the phone, you may call Walton College alumni relations manager, Rachel Burton, at 479-575-5425.
