History
In 1897, students produced a University of Arkansas yearbook for the first time. The book was called The Cardinal, named after the school colors. However, when the university adopted a mascot, the book’s name changed to the Razorback.
Besides the name change, the book has evolved over the years. Becoming more colorful, larger, and longer but also maintaining their status as a student-produced historical document.

“I’m the Managing/Student Life Editor and a sophomore in Childhood Education. I like watching Cheesy Rom-Coms, hanging with my cat and hanging out with friends! I was on my high school’s yearbook so it was a no brainer to join the Razorback. (Fun fact: UARK having a student media program is the entire reason I applied in the first place!!)”
Design Editor

I’ve always loved yearbook and I wanted a chance to continue that in college. It’s so fun getting to see all of the writing, photography, and design elements come together on the page. Yearbooks have documented this school’s history for over one hundred years and I’m excited to continue that tradition.”
