Chancellor

The University of Arkansas System invites nominations and applications for the position of Chancellor of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB).

Created in 1873, UAPB is the second-oldest public university in Arkansas and the state’s only public historically black institution. As an 1890 land-grant HBCU, UAPB grew out of the vision that higher education should be at the forefront in building the future of the region and the state. The university has distinguished itself in aquaculture and fisheries, teacher education, mathematics and science, minority business development, and student leadership development.

The next Chancellor of UAPB will be a dynamic leader who will work to build on the university’s rich traditions as “The Flagship of the Delta,” serving a diverse population of students, faculty, staff, and alumni to advance the educational, cultural, and economic well-being of the Delta region and the entire state.
