Congratulations to Dr. Debbie Dailey named dean of the UCA College of Education.

The University of Central Arkansas has announced that Dr. Debbie Dailey has been selected as dean of the UCA College of Education following a national search.

“Dr. Dailey has guided the College of Education through a period of significant transition, bringing steady leadership to the complex work of educator preparation, state-level policy and accreditation,” UCA Provost and Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs Michael Hargis said. “As dean, she will continue to build on that foundation by championing student success, supporting faculty, strengthening partnerships and advancing the quality and reach of the college.

“Her vision for the college is rooted in people, and in creating the conditions where both educators and students can thrive.”

Over the past 13 years, Dailey has served UCA as a faculty member, chair of the Department of Teaching and Learning, interim associate dean and interim dean. Before entering higher education, she spent 20 years in K-12 classrooms and schools. Those experiences continue to shape her deep commitment to educators and the students they serve.

Dailey earned a Bachelor of Science in Education in Biology and a Master of Science in Education in Biology from Arkansas State University, a graduate certificate in Gifted and Talented Education from Harding University, and a Doctor of Education from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
