University of Arkansas at Little Rock Chancellor Joel Anderson will serve as a visiting scholar next week at the Clinton School’s Center on Community Philanthropy.
Anderson will spend a week at the center researching, writing and interacting with Clinton School students and faculty. Anderson is successfully leading an effort to establish the first ever Institute on Race and Ethnicity that will live within the University of Arkansas System. He will discuss that effort in a Clinton School lecture on Friday at noon.
Anderson became the Chancellor of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2003, bringing with him more than thirty years of university and community service. As Dean and Provost, Dr. Anderson led the university to become a doctoral-level institution with an increase in research grants and contracts from $5 million to $22 million.
Anderson’s visit is part of the Center on Community Philanthropy “Scholars in Residence” program, which brings in researchers, practitioners and senior executives who have demonstrated exemplary contributions in the field of community philanthropy.
