Two days. 22 campuses. One shared commitment to supporting UA System employees. This week, Benefits and Human Resources representatives from across the UA System came together for our Fall Benefits Meeting. Over two productive days, we prepared for the year ahead by discussing 2027 Open Enrollment, upcoming benefit enhancements, wellness initiatives, Workday processes, and important HR issues. We also spent time with our benefit partners learning about enhancements to supplemental health, life and disability benefits and discussing ways to improve the employee experience.

These meetings are about more than policies and benefit plans - they are an opportunity to share ideas, ask questions, learn from one another, and make sure our campus HR and Benefits teams have the information and resources they need to support employees across the UA System.

Grateful for this group and the knowledge, collaboration, and dedication they bring back to their campuses every day!

Always a joy to be out and about in the presence of students. Great visit!

A special highlight from Student Orientation! 🌟 We were honored to have University of Arkansas System President Jay B. Silveria join us on campus to speak with our new Master of Public Service cohort.

President Silveria shared valuable words of encouragement on leadership, public service, and the power of collaboration across our state. Thank you, President Silveria, for spending time with our newest students and giving them such a warm welcome to the UA System family! 👏🎓
