Congratulations to UAM Chancellor Dr. Peggy Doss for being named among the 2026 Top 100 Women of Arkansas.

Dr. Doss earned this recognition through her leadership at UAM, addressing Arkansas’ evolving higher education and workforce development needs. With the support of her UAM team, she has helped to build impactful partnerships with educational institutions and industry leaders statewide, advancing opportunities for both students and southeast Arkansas.

This prestigious initiative by the Women’s Foundation of Arkansas, in collaboration with Little Rock Soiree magazine, highlights 100 women leaders across the state for their exceptional professional achievements and steadfast commitment to their industries and communities. The top 100 Women of Arkansas is published triennially. This year’s list will culminate in a dedicated print publication and digital showcase releasing in December 2026.
