New Director Named of Institutional Advancement at UA Hope-Texarkana

The University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana (UAHT) has appointed Kelly Wilcox as its new Director of Institutional Advancement. A UAHT alumna, Wilcox also holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.

Kelly Wilcox stated in a press release,

As a Hope native, I understand the hardships rural students face in achieving their higher education goals. As a product of both UAHT and the UAMS off-campus BSN program in Hope, I am aware that high-quality educational opportunities are critical to ensuring a thriving economic future for all UAHT students and our communities. After many years of nursing, I look forward to serving our community in a new capacity as the Director of Institutional Advancement and ushering our UAHT campuses into the future.

Kelly is married to Mark Wilcox, who serves as the Paramedic Program Director at UAHT. They have three sons: Gage Burns, Wyatt, and Carter Wilcox. Kelly also runs a program called “Carter’s Class” with her youngest son. "Carter's Class" gives the students at his school the chance to pick a book at the Scholastic Book Fair. Over the summer, she assisted as a coach for the Hope Piranhas Swim Team. And of course, Wilcox is a big fan of the Arkansas Razorbacks.
