Prior to joining SouthArk, Wallace served at University of Arkansas Pulaski Technical College as dean of technical and professional studies from 2018-2020 and as vice chancellor for economic development from 2013-2018. He was division chair and director of business and transportation technology at ASU-Newport from 2006-2013.

Welch stated “It’s never easy to hire a replacement for someone like Robin Myers, but I am confident that Bentley will continue to move this institution forward. Robin and his team – like Ed Coulter before him – have created a strong foundation in Mountain Home for higher education and workforce training.”

Myers will retire July 31 after 11 years as ASUMH chancellor and 34 years in higher education.
