Hux is also spearheading a review of curriculum effectiveness in graduate education programs and ensuring A-State is meeting the needs of education professionals in Arkansas and beyond.
Hux said her mission is to continue to actively and openly communicate with the COEBS community, attending meetings with all departments to ensure that faculty are heard and valued, and fostering an environment of collaboration. These accomplishments reflect a commitment to advancing education, promoting innovation, and supporting both students and faculty.
The future of the college is one of growth, innovation and community impact, which will be brought about by embracing technological advancements, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and focusing on inclusivity, mental health, wellness and sustainability.
“We want the college to be a place that not only adapts to the changing landscape of education and behavioral sciences but leads in shaping the national discourse.

“We will continue to focus on innovative pedagogy, research and student and faculty excellence, while implementing cutting-edge approaches, such as the integration ofartificial intelligence in learning, and the intersection of mental and holistic health and wellness,” concluded Hux.
