G. David Gearhart, director of the National Lab for the Study of the College President, was interviewed for a newspaper article about the program and its related scholarly journal.

“Ex-UA Chancellor Leads Study of College Leaders” was published Jan. 22, 2018, in print and online versions of the Northwest Arkansas edition and also statewide editions of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, reported by Jaime Adame. Gearhart was 2008-2015 chancellor of the University of Arkansas and remains on the Fayetteville campus as a professor of higher education in the College of Education and Health Professions.

Michael T. Miller, dean of the college who with Gearhart developed the research program, said of the lab, “It’s really a combined series of initiatives to explore how the college presidency works, how it has changed and continues to change, and what research and scholarship exists on the college presidency.”
