Graduating Associate Dean Richard Harper Says 'It's All About The Students'

A well-known associate dean at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock said he is looking forward to helping the "most important people on campus" after completing his college education.

Richard Harper II, associate dean of students, graduated May 11 with a Doctor of Education in higher education administration. He wears many hats on campus, serving as the immediate past president of Staff Senate and the advisor to the Student Government Association.

"Now that graduation is over, I plan to continually live by my professional motto," he said. "I'm here to positively impact the lives of students. The other motto I live by is that students are the most important people on campus. Without them, there would be no purpose for us to be here. I will continue to advocate for students and make sure our services are high quality and continue to be an asset for higher education."
