The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Alumni Association will celebrate its 11th annual Taste of Little Rock from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 3, at the UALR Bailey Alumni and Friends Center.

Taste of Little Rock will feature foods from Little Rock’s premiere restaurants and provides guests with a tasting experience. All proceeds from the event support UALR Alumni Association scholarships.

“Thanks to the generosity of our individual and corporate donors, the Alumni Association is able to budget $582,000 for scholarship awards over the next 10 years,” said UALR Associate Vice Chancellor Christian O’Neal.
