Arkansas Tech University President Dr. Russell Jones announced on Monday, Nov. 11, that Suzanne McCall has been promoted to ATU vice president for administration and finance on a permanent basis.
McCall has served as ATU interim vice president for administration and finance since June. The ATU Board of Trustees will have the opportunity to confirm her appointment during its December meeting.
“Suzanne is an experienced leader in fiscal matters,” said Jones. “As a result of her background, she has a great understanding of how the State of Arkansas and Arkansas Tech University function. I am grateful that she has accepted this opportunity and I look forward to her leadership of several important operating areas at ATU in the years to come.”
McCall joined ATU in 2018 as its controller.
As controller, McCall has managed all aspects of accounting and financial reporting for the institution. She has acted as the primary liaison with external and internal auditors, coordinator of the financial year-end close and the lead staff member on the annual legislative financial audit. She has also participated in institution-wide initiatives, providing financial expertise to various levels of management within the university.
Prior to joining ATU, McCall was an auditor with the Arkansas Division of Legislative Audit for 10 years. She holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Harding University and a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
As ATU vice president for administration and finance, McCall will have oversight of ATU operating areas such as budget, controller, facilities management, food services, information systems, payroll, procurement, student accounts and travel services.
