    Hello Friends!

    The Arkansas Union opened in 1973, which means 2023 will be our golden anniversary. As I’ve never been involved in planning any sort of major union milestone celebration, I’m wondering what others have done (or what they’ve consulted) in preparation. Did you form a committee? How did you decide what to do? What activities (major celebration, historical gallery, etc.) did you prepare? What advice would you have for planning such a thing? We’re just looking ahead to be as effective, well-rounded, and exciting as we can be. Thank you for any insights.

    Hey Rob,
    During my time at the Norris Center at Northwestern University, we celebrated our 40th birthday.? We found an amazing cake decorator who reproduced the building in 3D.? We invited Alumni to partake in the event.? ?It was a really cool – watching folks amazed by the cake- then eating it!
