Advancing Higher Education in Arkansas
April 27, 2025 - 14:29
After dedicating five years to higher education, I had the honor of serving as president of Arkansas' Independent Colleges and Universities. This organization plays a vital role in advocating for the 11 private four-year colleges and universities across the state.
During my tenure, I witnessed firsthand the challenges and triumphs faced by these institutions. The commitment to providing quality education and fostering an inclusive environment for all students remains a top priority. Our member colleges offer diverse programs that cater to a wide range of interests and career paths, ensuring that students have access to the educational resources they need to succeed.
As we look to the future, it is essential to continue promoting the value of private higher education in Arkansas. By working collaboratively with state leaders, educators, and communities, we can further enhance educational opportunities and ensure that every student has the chance to thrive in their academic pursuits. The journey toward accessible and equitable education for all is ongoing, and together, we can make a significant impact.
