This fall, the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences named eight new academic leaders to key positions in departments, schools and centers throughout the college.

These leaders serve as associate deans, directors and department chairs, supporting their faculty and staff, while guiding more than a third of the university's students and helping them to succeed.

The college's new leaders include:

• Nikolay Antov, director of the Religious Studies Program
• Jim Gigantino, chair, Department of History
• Bill Schwab, director of education, research and outreach, the David and Barbara Pryor Center for Arkansas Oral and Visual History
• Kathryn Sloan, director of the Humanities Program
• Calvin White Jr., associate dean of humanities, Fulbright College
• Anna Zajicek, interim associate dean of fine arts, Fulbright College
• Mathew McConnell, interim director of the School of Art
• Marty Maxwell Lane, interim associate director of the School of Art
