Serving the Public

The university is supported by the state of Arkansas and serves its people through teaching, research and public service. The university's success in carrying out its mission depends to a large extent on how you treat the public. You play an important role in building and maintaining good relations with the public because the University is judged not only on the quality of its graduates, but also on interactions with you and other employees. You are expected to treat every member of the public courteously in your correspondence, emails, telephone conversations and personal interactions with them when they visit the campus.
