Zulma Toro named interim chancellor of 糖心Vlog传媒LR]]> Zulma Toro, executive vice chancellor for academic affairs and provost at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, as interim chancellor of the institution upon longtime Chancellor Joel E. Anderson鈥檚 retirement on聽June 30. Following an eight-month search for Anderson鈥檚 replacement that ended in May, Bobbitt chose Dr. Andrew Rogerson, currently provost and vice president of academic affairs at Sonoma State University, as 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 10th chancellor. Rogerson will begin his appointment on聽Sept. 1. Toro, who currently oversees 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 500-plus, full-time faculty members and nearly 12,000 students, will work closely with Bobbitt from聽July 1 to Aug. 30聽to lead the institution in the interim. 鈥淒r. Toro has a wealth of previous leadership experience and is in a good position to ensure continuity in the聽day-to-day operations of the institution,鈥� Bobbitt said. “Dr. Toro and I are committed to making sure that the institution鈥檚 faculty, students, staff, and the community are well-served and that聽糖心Vlog传媒LR continues its upward trajectory in anticipation of Dr. Rogerson鈥檚 arrival.鈥漖]> /news-archive/2016/05/20/ualr-chancellor-andrew-rogerson-arkansas-little-rock/ Fri, 20 May 2016 18:33:27 +0000 /news/?p=64418 ... Andrew Rogerson selected to lead 糖心Vlog传媒LR]]> Bobbitt鈥檚 recommendation to the Board of Trustees will be considered at its next regularly scheduled meeting May 25-26 at Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas. Rogerson is expected to begin his role as 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 10th chancellor on Sept. 1. Current 糖心Vlog传媒LR Chancellor Joel E. Anderson, who has spent more than 45 years at the institution and 13 as chancellor, is retiring June 30. 鈥淓ntering into the search process the expectation was that a very competent and high-level pool of candidates would be identified and that the right person would rise to the top,鈥� Bobbitt said. 鈥淲ith the help and input of faculty, staff and students, along with the search committee and search firm, a very impressive group of finalists were brought to campus. Frankly, all three offered significant 鈥� but different 鈥� strengths and have the potential to do the job, but I feel Dr. Rogerson brings a complete skill set to match 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 needs and is the right person for the job at this time.鈥� Rogerson is currently provost and vice president of academic affairs at Sonoma State University, part of the California State University system. A native of Scotland, he earned both an undergraduate honors degree in biology and a doctorate in protozoan ecology there. He has been a professor, scholar and senior administrator at leading universities in England, Canada and the United States, including most recently at Marshall University and Fresno State. A complete bio can be found here. 鈥淚 feel very strongly about the role a metropolitan university like 糖心Vlog传媒LR should play within a community, a system, and a state 鈥� even regionally and nationally,鈥� Rogerson said. 鈥淭here鈥檚 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 糖心Vlog传媒LR reach its maximum potential. I am very thankful for the hospitality and professionalism that鈥檚 been shown to me during this process by everyone involved, and I am extremely excited to get to Little Rock and get to work.鈥� Rogerson鈥檚 selection ends an eight-month process led by a search committee established by Bobbitt and supported by Greenwood/Asher & Associates Inc., a leading executive search and consulting firm. The search committee, chaired by Bob Denman, former vice chancellor for advancement at 糖心Vlog传媒LR, included a diverse group representing the 糖心Vlog传媒 Board of Trustees, university faculty and staff, and the private business sector. 鈥淎s a committee, we certainly felt extremely confident that 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 next chancellor was among the finalists we brought to campus,鈥� Denman said. 鈥淒r. Rogerson is a unique individual and someone I quickly came to admire as a person and as an administrator, and I鈥檓 certainly pleased that he is the candidate Dr. Bobbitt feels is the best fit for 糖心Vlog传媒LR.鈥� The three finalists individually visited campus and participated in public forums, ultimately leading to Bobbitt鈥檚 recommendation of Rogerson to the 糖心Vlog传媒 Board of Trustees. 鈥淭he feedback received from the campus community was extremely helpful in this process, and I鈥檇 like to thank all of those who took part in the forums, asked questions of the finalists and shared their thoughts,鈥� Bobbitt said. 鈥淚 also want to thank everyone involved, especially Bob Denman and the search committee, for their hard work and dedication to this process and congratulate them on their help to identify, recruit and welcome Dr. Rogerson to Little Rock.鈥� Anderson, who is retiring June 30, spent more than 45 years at 糖心Vlog传媒LR, beginning as a political science professor out of graduate school and rising to the ranks of chancellor the past 13 years. 鈥淒r. Anderson is not only someone the campus grew to respect and admire, but also the community,鈥� Bobbitt said. 鈥淗e has earned a great deal of respect through the years and his presence at the helm of 糖心Vlog传媒LR will be missed by many. I know that he is invested in 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 continued growth, and he should feel confident about its future with Dr. Rogerson.鈥� For more information about Rogerson and the search process visit here.

Anderson, who is stepping down at the end of June after serving at the helm of the university for 13 years. 鈥淎s a committee, we feel like we had a top-notch pool of candidates identified and who were interested in the job,鈥� said Bob Denman, recently retired vice chancellor of university advancement at 糖心Vlog传媒LR and chair of the search committee. 鈥淚 was impressed not only by the amount of time and commitment put forth by the committee, but also by the national reputation the institution has earned, as evidenced by the conversations we had. I am confident we have helped identify the best group of finalists possible to help Dr. Bobbitt and the Board of Trustees ultimately find 糖心Vlog传媒LR its next great leader.鈥� Following the individual visits, Bobbitt will ultimately select a single finalist to recommend to the 糖心Vlog传媒 Board of Trustees.
