She’s brought plenty of creativity, curiosity, and fresh ideas to the team, and we’re excited for everything she’ll take on this semester.

A few things to know about Cayla: She calls Helena home, graduates this December, loves Wicked, and appreciates a sweet coffee shop drink.

We’re so glad Cayla chose to spend her final semester of college with ASPSF. Help us give her a warm welcome with a ❤️!

ASPSF Program Manager Carrie Allen recently joined Arkansas State University for its annual Community and Organization Fair! 🐺❤️🎓

The event welcomed students back to campus while connecting them with local businesses, organizations, and opportunities both on and off campus.

“The A-State Community and Organization Fair is always one of my favorite events of the year! It’s so rewarding to talk to so many students, faculty, and staff about ASPSF in a short period of time. And it’s a fun event with lots of stuff going on! But my favorite part is getting to visit with so many alumni and current recipients of our program who come by the booth.” — Carrie Allen

Go Wolves!! ❤️
