UAMS New Faculty Reception – 2026 | Center for Faculty Excellence

Each year, the Center for Faculty Excellence hosts the New Faculty Reception to welcome all faculty that have recently joined UAMS. In addition to our new faculty, we encourage leadership from all colleges and departments to attend this event and show support for the faculty members who have joined us within the last year.

This year’s New Faculty Reception will take place on Thursday, September 24 at 5:00 pm on the 12th floor of the Jack T Stephens Spine Institute.
