Chancellor's Annual Report Goes Online for Cost Savings and Sustainability
Chancellor's Annual Report
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The 2009 Annual Report from University of Arkansas Chancellor G. David Gearhart will be released online on Thursday, Jan. 28, and will be available to the public on the Chancellor’s Key Communications page on his Web site. This marks the first time a chancellor has prepared an Annual Report and it is being published exclusively online.
“We are all facing fiscal challenges this year – as individuals and as a university,” said Gearhart. “Publishing this document electronically will save the university thousands of dollars and save thousands of sheets of paper at the same time. In this way we can recognize the accomplishments of the past academic year while meeting our priorities of cost savings and sustainability.”
The Annual Report covers the 2008-09 academic year, and includes a review of major events on campus, an update of developments in each college and school, a summary of the initiatives started, and a list of accomplishments by students, faculty and staff.
