IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

Higher education cannot prepare students for tomorrow’s economy using organizational models designed for yesterday’s.

In a new commentary, Chancellor Graham explains how The Next Roar is aligning the University’s academic programs, operations and investments with the needs of today’s students, employers and communities. As Arkansas’ only public 1890 land-grant HBCU, UAPB is positioning itself to advance talent, innovation and economic renewal across Arkansas and the Delta.

Read Chancellor Graham’s perspective on why the future belongs to institutions willing to redesign themselves for the future they seek to create.

Leadership scholars have long observed that every system is perfectly designed to produce the results it produces. This simple observation carries profound implications for higher education.
