HOPE, AR – January 8, 2020

Cindy Lance has been selected as the new Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration at the University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana. Lance began her employment at the college in 1998 as an accounting instructor. Over the next few years, additional responsibilities such as Perkins Coordinator and Associate of Arts in Teaching Coordinator were added to her duties.
