We are also delighted and very proud that one of our very own will take the helm at ARDOT as her successor. Congrats to Jared Wiley, a 2005 civil engineering graduate and 2022 inductee of the CoECS Alumni Academy. With this remarkable accomplishment, Jared adds to the wonderful spirit of service of CoECS alumni to the state of Arkansas and the rich legacy they have built over the years.”
