UCA's Fisheries and Wildlife Society recently partnered with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission for a Microfishing Derby at Cadron Creek, bringing together UCA students, faculty and staff for a day of hands-on learning and outdoor recreation.
Participants explored the diversity of non-game fish species and the important ecological roles they play.

@ucabears has the third-largest enrollment of any university in Arkansas, and I am thrilled that they have joined the One Pill Can Kill initiative, partnering with us to educate students about the dangers of illicit opioids.
The training weβre holding on campus today will provide resources to 200 UCA students such as fentanyl testing strips, knowledge of how to recognize an overdose, and instruction on how to administer Narcan. We are also in discussions to provide a vending machine to be placed on the UCA campus that will allow students to discreetly obtain Narcan for free.
UCA has been an important partner in the One Pill Can Kill initiative and has scheduled other student-engagement events this week on issues of health and substance abuse, including a drug take-back event and a town hall on tobacco-use prevention and cessation.
This is the 12th school to join the One Pill Can Kill initiative. We look forward to expanding the program to more two- and four-year schools across the state this coming fall. #arnews Link in bio
