Congratulations on your new position and welcome to the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith. You are now a member of a vibrant community comprised of accomplished faculty, inspired staff, modern facilities, and exceptional students.
Since 1928 our university has been the educational institution of choice for the River Valley region. While much has changed during that time, including our growth from a junior college to a four-year regional university, our core academic mission remains much as it has since our inception: to empower the social mobility of our students and the economic growth of the River Valley through exceptional educational opportunities and robust community partnerships.
You’ll find our campus to be one of inclusion, innovation, and academic excellence. We are decidedly student-focused, with programming and initiatives that encourage curiosity, collaboration, and a sense of community.
The supportive nature of the campus extends to its employees. You’ll find opportunities for professional development, personal growth, and rewarding activities are readily available at UAFS. I encourage you to become involved and enjoy all that campus has to offer. Whether you are new or continuing at UAFS, I thank you for sharing your talents with our students. I look forward to working alongside you as we help generations of Lions achieve their academic goals.
Welcome to the Pride,
Terisa Riley, Ph.D.
Chancellor
