Christina Drale
University of Arkansas System President Donald R. Bobbitt on Wednesday named Christina Drale acting chancellor of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
Drale has served as interim executive vice chancellor and provost of the campus since October 2018. Bobbitt named Drale to the post after Andrew Rogerson resigned, effective Sept. 1.
In a statement, the UA System Drale will be acting chancellor “as Bobbitt considers a plan for the future leadership of the campus.” The next regular meeting of the system’s board of trustees is Sept. 12-13.
“In her time in the provost position, Dr. Drale has shown to be a very capable leader and I am grateful to her for stepping up to serve UA Little Rock as acting chancellor,” Bobbitt said in a news release. “She has my full confidence and support as we work through a long-term plan for the institution.”
Drale previously served as associate vice chancellor for faculty relations and administration. She earned a doctorate degree in sociology, a master of arts in sociology, and a bachelor of arts in communications, all from the University of California, San Diego.
