Appointed -- Reginald Glover (left) is sworn in as a member of the Board of Visitors by Drew County Judge Damon Lampkin.

   Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee recently appointed Reginald Glover to the University of Arkansas at Monticello Board of Visitors, bringing the total board membership to 12. Glover will fill the new at-large position.

   Drew County Judge Damon Lampkin swore Glover in to his new position earlier this month, and Chancellor Jack Lassiter formally introduced Glover to the Board during its Jan. 12 meeting at the College of Technology at McGehee campus.

   "The at-large position that Reginald was appointed to is a new position for our Board that was created in legislation presented in the last legislative session," Lassiter said. "This legislation was sponsored by our legislative delegation."

    Glover, a director at Commercial Bank and Trust Company of Monticello, graduated from both UAM and Arkansas A&M. He received the UAM Alumni Award for Achievement and Merit in 1987. He currently serves as an officer of the Boll Weevil Sports Association, an organization he helped establish.

   Glover said he had experienced a long association with the university and wanted to continue to keep up with what was going on.

   "I want to work for and try to have 'alumni ambassadors' at high schools in southeast Arkansas," he said. "I want to try and have a person there who's willing to stand up for students and encourage them and show them that UAM is their best option."

   Glover and Hugh Heflin established the banquet on campus that recognizes the Pine Bluff Commerical Dream Team, an honor given to the outstanding high school football players in southeast Arkansas. He also played a large role in the activities this past year that recognized the 50th anniversary of the graduation of his class.  

   "We are very pleased to have Reginald Glover appointed to the Board of Visitors as he is an alumnus of UAM and brings to the board a vast knowledge of the university and an understanding of the students that we serve," Lassiter said.
