Keynote Speaker: Chancellor Charles F. Robinson | University of Arkansas
Charles F. Robinson, the seventh chancellor of the University of Arkansas, is committed to advancing the university’s land-grant mission to provide opportunity and transform lives through education, research and service.
Dr. Robinson was appointed chancellor in November 2022, after serving as interim chancellor since August 202. The U of A has set several institutional records under his leadership, including those for graduation rate, retention rate, scholarship funding and enrollment. In addition, the university conducted a record $221.5 million in research in fiscal year 2023, while investing $136 million more of its own resources into applied research facilities since 2021. Under Robinson’s leadership, the university contributes over $3 billion annually to the state’s economy, underscoring its role as a driver of economic growth and innovation.
Chancellor Robinson prioritizes supporting student success, augmenting the institution’s research enterprise and enhancing the university’s status as an employer of choice. He initiated and is guiding the $200 million Land of Opportunity Scholarship campaign, a transformative initiative aimed at bridging financial gaps for Arkansas students with the greatest financial need. Robinson has minimized, or at times frozen, tuition increases for in-state students while adding several million dollars in scholarship support for Arkansans and raising employee pay.
