“Come Fall in Love” is an event that takes place at UA Cossatot every February.  It is designed for juniors in high school to fall in love with UA Cossatot.  Approximately 500 high school students visited the college to learn about careers, educational opportunities, and how they can achieve their goals by enrolling at UA Cossatot.

This past month, UA Cossatot hosted seven “Come Fall in Love” events to seven local area high schools. The high schools that brought their students to the college included; Foreman, Kirby, Ashdown, Nashville, Dierks, Horatio, and De Queen.

Students were able to sit in on college classes, play games, receive program information, and take pictures.  The college also provided the students with a free lunch before they returned to their high school.

UA Cossatot Director of Student Services, Suzanne Ward, said, “Providing the basic information regarding college prior to the senior year is crucial. The more students know about career goals, academic programs, college life, and financial planning for college, the better decisions they can make about their future.”
