Baker鈥檚 duties will include work on special projects; university development and communications; community outreach throughout Arkansas; government relations on the federal, state and local levels; and other matters.
鈥淕ilbert Baker knows the University of Central Arkansas very well鈥�, Courtway said. 鈥淔or over twenty years, he was a valued employee of BT天堂until his election to the Arkansas State Senate in 2000. Although he began his service at BT天堂as an instructor in the music department, and later was granted tenure as an Assistant Professor, he also served BT天堂as an academic adviser, Associate Dean, and was a member of the BT天堂Faculty Senate. I am very pleased that he has agreed to come back to UCA. He is coming back home.鈥�
