UCA launches Northwest Arkansas Advisory Council to boost regional presence

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Officials with the University of Central Arkansas announced the creation of a Northwest Arkansas Advisory Council to connect alumni, programs, and resources with one of the fastest-growing regions in the South.

The council held its inaugural meeting Sept. 22 at Hunt Tower in Rogers, with UCA President Houston Davis attending, officials said.

According to a spokesperson, the council brings together UCA alumni leaders to serve as strategic partners and advocates, advising university leadership, identifying collaboration opportunities and shaping initiatives to strengthen UCA’s presence and visibility in Northwest Arkansas.

“Northwest Arkansas is one of the most influential regions in the South, and UCA needs to be part of that story,” UCA Senior Director of Northwest Arkansas Engagement Paul Gatling said. “This council is how we start treating it like a partner in shaping the university’s future.”

The council will meet twice a year to share insights, provide feedback on engagement strategies and assist in identifying potential partners, Gatling said.
