Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade Shifting to Motorcade

Due to the extreme cold weather, the Dr Martin Luther King Jr parade/march will go on today as a motorcade.  The marching bands will perform outside the Fowler Center at 11 a.m. at the end of the motorcade.

Here are the updated details:

🚗 Motorcade Participation:
You are welcome to drive your own vehicle in the parade.  For those needing transportation, the City of Jonesboro’s JET Trolleys will be available to accommodate participants.

🕒 Schedule:
Lineup begins at 10:00 AM at the ASU Military Science Building (1921 Aggie Road). The parade/motorcade will officially start at 10:30 AM.

🚌 Park & Ride Option:
If you prefer to park and ride, JET Trolleys will also be available at the ASU Fowler Center (201 Olympic Drive) starting at 9:30 AM. Participants can park there, ride to the lineup location, and be transported back after the parade and program. We encourage everyone to bundle up, stay warm, and join us in celebrating Dr. King’s legacy of unity and nonviolence.

Latest Announcements

05/31/2023

The Offices of Procurement Services and Travel Services are announcing a new feature of SAP Concur that will go live June 26, 2023. Concur Detect by Oversight is an automated auditing tool that will help both departments streamline and improve the processing of Expense Reports. As early as this week, you will begin to see a new status message on Expense Reports that says “Pending External Validation” after submission. The purpose is to make sure the audit flags and exceptions we’ve built work and to provide data into the Oversight software for trend analysis before go live. Until go live, the Expense Report will stay in this status for 6 hours before being pushed through the normal approval workflow steps. Other than this there will be no changes to how you process or approve Expense Reports. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Marcus Carlton, 972-2011.
