STUDENT SUCCESS
When Chancellor Karla Hughes became the University of Arkansas at Monticello’s 12th CEO in 2016, she launched a Student Success Initiative with a long-term goal to improve retention and graduation rates.
The first phase of that initiative will be complete this summer with the construction of a Student Success Center, which will house elements of the registrar’s office, financial aid and the cashier’s office, as well as admissions and recruiting, housing, career counseling, academic advising, a bookstore and a Chick-fil- A restaurant.
