The University of Arkansas at Monticello has narrowed its search for a new chancellor to two candidates.
The finalists are:
• Ty Handy, president of Northwest Florida State College at Niceville, Florida
• Karla Hughes, executive vice president and provost of the University of Louisiana System in Baton Rouge
Both will visit UAM in September and the dates will be announced. UAM has been without a chancellor since Jack Lassiter retired Jan. 5. Jay Jones, vice chancellor for finance and administration, has been serving as interim chancellor.
