An anonymous $5 million gift to the University of Central Arkansas will support the Conway university’s interior design program, UCA announced today.
“The majority of the gift, $4 million, will be used to endow faculty positions allowing at least four named professorships. The remaining $1 million will be designated to support internship and experiential learning opportunities for students,” the university said in a news release.
UCA President Houston Davis said the gift “will ensure the retention and recruitment of outstanding faculty and make certain that our students are placed in challenging and meaningful experiential learning opportunities.”
According to UCA, its interior design program has seen a 41% increase in enrollment since the 2016-17 academic term.
