Honoring Dr. Barbara G. Taylor

Barbara G. Taylor, Associate Vice Chancellor for Human Resources, will retire this year after 35 years of service to the University of Arkansas. In lieu of gifts commemorating her service upon her departure, people are encouraged to instead make a contribution to the Staff Senate Scholarship Fund for the Barbara G. Taylor Diversity Scholarship. These contributions will be used to support the educational endeavors of staff who contribute to diversity, broadly defined, either by who they are or by what they do.

Taylor, who began her career at the university as director of human relations, the title used for the campus’  first affirmative action officer, has always been interested in increasing the diversity of the students, faculty and staff. 

Gifts to the Staff Senate Scholarship Fund may be made through the Annual Fund Web.  Faculty and Staff can also payroll deduct gifts by filling out the payroll deduct form.  Be sure to indicate that your gift is for the Barbara G. Taylor Diversity Scholarship.  For more information about the Scholarship, please visit our Scholarship homepage or send us an email at ssenate@uark.edu.

From the Staff Senate to Dr. Barbara Taylor and her supporters--Thank you!!!
