Video Details Chancellor's Bus Tour of Arkansas
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – University of Arkansas Chancellor Joe Steinmetz spent a majority of his first six months on campus getting to know faculty, staff and students, meeting with 75 departments and centers. He also found time to get to know his new home state, spending five days in May traveling Arkansas by bus to learn firsthand about the diverse needs and interests of Arkansans.
"I tell people all the time that, to be honest, I had never set foot in Arkansas before October of last year," Steinmetz said. "Everything is new to me. Literally everything about this state."
Steinmetz, his wife Sandy and members of the university's leadership team covered nearly 1,000 miles, making more than 20 stops in 12 different communities to meet with alumni, students and friends, as well as leaders in education and business.
