🎒🌳 BACK-TO-SCH

💚💛 Welcome home, Wonder Boys and Golden Suns! 💛💚

Move-In Day at Arkansas Tech University is this Sunday, August 16, and Russellville is ready to welcome new and returning students and their families to town!

If you're moving into campus housing, your first stop will be Tucker Coliseum at your registered check-in time. From there, ATU volunteers will be stationed at residence halls to help get those boxes, mini fridges, and everything else you somehow managed to fit in the car moved into your new home. 📦😅

A few things to know for Sunday:

💚 Free water, shaved ice & sodas at Mullens Plaza | 10 AM–4 PM
📚 ATU Bookstore open | 9 AM–5 PM
☕ Starbucks at Baswell Techionery opens | 8 AM
🍽️ Special $8 + tax lunch rate for parents & family at Chambers Cafeteria
👨‍👩‍👧 Parent & Family Welcome | 1:30 PM
💛 Parent & Guardian Student Send-Off | 2:45 PM
🎓 New Student Orientation begins later that afternoon

And once the boxes are unpacked, don't forget there's a whole city waiting for you outside campus! Explore Russellville, find your new favorite restaurant, discover downtown, and start making this place feel like home. ❤️

Safe travels to everyone heading our way, and welcome to Russellville!

🥪🍰 Russellville has a local deli that's been serving up the good stuff since 1974!

The Smokehouse Deli is a longtime Russellville favorite and the last remaining location carrying on the historic Ozark Mountain Smoke House legacy.

Come hungry because the menu is packed with comfort food favorites:

🥪 Made-to-order sandwiches like Reubens, Italian subs, and chipotle turkey
🥔 Homemade potato salad and chicken salad
🥣 Rotating soups with warm cornbread
🍰 A dessert case filled with homemade cakes and sweet treats

And whatever you do... save room for cake. 👀 From coconut to German chocolate, choosing a slice might be the hardest decision you make all day.

With friendly service, generous portions, counter service, and a convenient drive-thru, there's a reason this place has been a Russellville staple for more than 50 years.
