The University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service is deeply appreciative of Gene and Jerry Jones for their incredible gift to the Clinton Foundation and their ongoing dedication to the state, the University of Arkansas, and our school. This landmark investment in the Clinton Presidential Center advances the noble calling of public service.

The reimagining of the Clinton Presidential Center marks an exciting new chapter for the Clinton School as we continue to prepare versatile, action-oriented leaders to solve real-world problems.

The Jones family’s support helps ensure that Arkansas remains a vibrant hub for developing the next generation of public service leaders. The Clinton School is grateful for this investment in education and the power of our Arkansas community.
