The Clinton School of Public Service has selected UALR Chancellor Joel E. Anderson as “Scholar in Residence” for the Center on Community Philanthropy in recognition of his work in the area of race and equality.

“Chancellor Anderson is successfully leading an effort to establish the first ever Institute on Race and Ethnicity that will reside in the University of Arkansas System,” said Clinton School Dean Skip Rutherford.

Anderson will present a lunchtime lecture on the topic at noon Friday, Dec. 10, at the Clinton School’s Sturgis Hall. The public is invited to bring their own lunch. Drinks will be provided. For reservations, e-mail publicprograms@clintonschool.uasys.edu or call 501-683-5239.

The institute will serve as the resource for multi-disciplinary research-driven data providing historical, sociological, educational, and economic analysis to combat structural racism and support racial and ethnic justice.
