Cheerleaders, pom squad members, and mascots serve as public relations ambassadors of intercollegiate athletics and the University of Arkansas, to uphold, reflect and project the goals and ideals of the University; to appear at University activities, functions and programs, at charitable and public causes and to promote intercollegiate athletics and the University of Arkansas.
The University of Arkansas Spirit Squad program is a student activity. As a student activity, its responsibility to the student is to support and not to compromise the student’s academic career.
Cheerleading and Pom Squad are activities where the student will be provided leadership training, develop the ability to
make decisions, enhance the ability to respond to life’s situations, will contribute to social development and generally will maximize the opportunity for student growth, change and maturity.
The primary purpose of the Spirit Squads is to be a member of the team, which has as its goal the support of intercollegiate athletics and the University of Arkansas. The support is directed into two major areas, cheerleading and pom squad.
