Three candidates for the dean of the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences will make presentations at forums at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

Each candidate will be asked to focus on what they see as their strengths as well as opportunities for the college; discuss past experiences they believe have prepared them for the position; and discuss how they would advance research, performance and education for the College.
