Short Takes: Fulfilling Our Land-Grant Mission

For more than 150 years, the primary purpose of the University of Arkansas has been to improve the lives of every Arkansan. In 2023, the university celebrated record enrollment of Arkansans, and 98% of Arkansans who applied for scholarship support received a scholarship or other financial award. Chancellor Charles Robinson, Vice Provost for Enrollment and Dean of Admission Suzanne McCray, alumna Ayana Gray and students Amelia Southern Uribe, Erick Soto and Jenna Klewsaat share what makes the U of A unique, as the campus looks forward to the next 150 years and focuses on student success, research excellence and strengthening its position as an employer of choice.
