New Website Showcases Campus Experts
The University of Arkansas is home to faculty and staff members from across campus who have expertise in their subject fields. Their perspectives on current events are often valuable to the media and to the general public.
Experts.uark.edu makes it easier for journalists to find campus experts who are available to speak about a variety of subjects. The website can be searched by subject, name, department, college or academic unit. The homepage of the website features a "Trending Topics" section, which is updated regularly with experts who can speak about current news.
Anyone with questions or suggestions about the site can contact Camilla Shumaker.
