Spring Fling 2023
Current and soon-to-be members of the Compton Academic House enjoyed our Spring Fling party on Friday evening, April 28, which bought together faculty, staff, students (M-Zero, M1, M2, M3 and M4), significant others and many young children). Due to the wet grass and expected rain, the event was moved from nearby Wilson City Park to the NWA campus’ Baker Center.
