Welcome Home UAPB Alum 2024

Welcome Home, Graduates, Visitors, and Residents!

As a proud graduate of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Class of 2004, and a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated, serving as Polemarch for the Pine Bluff Alumni Chapter, I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to everyone for UAPB Homecoming 2024, themed "Fearless, Focused, Fired Up!" This is a time to celebrate our shared pride, reflect on the spirit of our community, and honor the incredible impact that UAPB has had on countless lives.

A special shout-out goes to the distinguished brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated, as we celebrate 75 years of achievement for the Gamma Sigma Chapter, which was founded on April 30, 1949. It is a momentous occasion, and I am proud to have been initiated into this storied chapter during my time at UAPB.

Additionally, I want to recognize and celebrate the Pine Bluff High School Class of 1999, who are marking their 25th-year class reunion in conjunction with the 2nd Annual All Class Reunion. It's a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, relive cherished memories, and appreciate the friendships that have stood the test of time.

At the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, we are dedicated to ensuring that everyone enjoys this homecoming safely. In partnership with the Pine Bluff Police Department, UAPB Public Safety Office, and the Arkansas State Police, we have put in place the necessary security measures to safeguard the well-being of all attendees. Our goal is to ensure that you can focus on celebrating without concerns, creating new memories while reflecting on the old ones.

This year's homecoming, like those in the past, is a testament to the strength of our community, the enduring friendships formed within UAPB's halls, and the lasting impact of these cherished educational institutions. Let's come together to make this year's homecoming a joyful and memorable celebration.

Welcome back to Pine Bluff, and let's be Fearless, Focused, and Fired Up!
