THE LAST WORD

LINDSAY BURNETT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ALUMNI RELATIONS

After an icy February, we have finally felt a touch of spring in the air on the campus of Arkansas State University, and for the first time in two years, it truly is a feeling of renewal.

COVID-19 numbers continue to decline across the nation, state, and on campus, and in early March, the mask mandate at A-State was completely lifted. While face coverings were optional in most areas of campus, it wasn’t until March 3 that they were no longer mandated in the classroom.

The days are getting noticeably longer again, and with that comes several outdoor activities on the A-State Alumni Association calendar that we hope you will participate in.

• On April 19, the Alumni Association will lead a pack of Red Wolves fans to Fayetteville to watch A-State take on the University of Arkansas baseball team. We will have a pre-game gathering at JJ’s Bar and Grill before the game gets underway. • Join us May 5, at 5 p.m., at the ASU System Office in Little Rock for Red Wolves on the

Rooftop, an afternoon of fun, food and drinks. • On July 14, the St. Louis Cardinals take on the Los Angeles Dodgers at Busch Stadium, and the Alumni Association invites you to “Meet us in St. Louis” for an evening of baseball. • The following morning, July 15, join us for a tour of the Endangered Wolf Center in St. Louis, and support the preservation of these beautiful animals that serve as our mascot.

Details for these and other upcoming events have been emailed in recent issues of the Alumni Newsletter and may be found on our website at AStateAlumni.org.

From all of your friends at the A-State Alumni Association, we hope that you had a healthy winter and are looking forward to spring as much as we are. Enjoy this edition of Voices – we’d love to hear your feedback, and keep the “Class Notes” coming so that we may highlight your achievements in future issues!

We look forward to seeing you at our events this spring and summer, and until then, Wolves Up!
