Presidential Priorities
As president, my highest priority is ensuring that every student who chooses UCA has a clear path to success. That means removing financial barriers, strengthening academic opportunities, and investing in programs that prepare students for meaningful careers.
The priorities outlined below reflect where philanthropic support can have the greatest impact—helping students persist, graduate, and thrive, while positioning UCA to meet the needs of Arkansas now and in the future.
UCA Commitment
The UCA Commitment is a debt-free pathway that covers tuition and fees for eligible Arkansas students, ensuring cost is not a barrier to earning a UCA degree.
By combining institutional funding with private philanthropy, the UCA Commitment helps students enroll with confidence, stay on track, and graduate without the burden of student debt. Continued philanthropic support is critical to sustaining and expanding this promise for future students.
How you can help
- Support the UCA Commitment Endowment
- Establish a named scholarship supporting UCA Commitment students
