“I feel very strongly about the role a metropolitan university like UALR should play within a community, a system, and a state … even regionally and nationally,” Rogerson said. “There’s a unique synergy that can be created when programs and research are interwoven into a growing community and economy, and my goal is to tap into that to help UALR reach its maximum potential.”

Rogerson is joined in Little Rock by his wife Janessa.

“I am very thankful for the hospitality and professionalism that’s been shown to us by everyone involved, and I am extremely excited to get to work.”
