Planning Committees
The UALR campus strategic plan report represents a collaborative effort of many, over a period of almost two years. The University would like to acknowledge and to thank the following individuals who have contributed countless hours of collective wisdom to the development of this document. As with any project of this magnitude, there may be individuals whose names were overlooked. We apologize for any oversights. There were dozens more who attend hearings or participated in ad hoc sessions whose names were not recorded and do not appear here.
