FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Luis Restrepo, assistant vice chancellor for diversity and community, has been named as a University of Arkansas representative to the Walton Arts Center Council. His three year-term was recently approved by the U of A System Board of Trustees.

Restrepo joins Mike Johnson, associate vice chancellor for facilities and Matt Trantham, senior associate athletic director for internal operations, who were both reappointed to the council.
