ӣƵ (BRTC) Academic Advisor and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Coordinator Zachary Singleton recently presented at an Arkansas Associate on Higher Education and Disability (Ark-AHEAD) conference on artificial intelligence and accessibility in higher education.

His presentation examined how emerging tools – including automated transcription, captioning, and content-analysis systems – are transforming the creation and verification of accessible materials. While these technologies offer promising gains in efficiency and consistency, Dr. Singleton also led an honest conversation about the challenges they introduce around equity and accuracy.

Participants also engaged in meaningful discussion on strategies for partnering with faculty to implement AI in ways that are both ethical and transparent.

According to arkahead.org, Ark-AHEAD is an organization for professionals working with people with disabilities in postsecondary education settings in Arkansas. Ark-AHEAD plays a vital role in the provision of professional development and networking opportunities. They strive to respond to the rapid changes in the law and accommodation practices, the isolation felt by many disability coordinators, and the dual roles that many professionals serve. Memberships are formed from postsecondary schools: public, private, two-year, four-year, graduate, and vocational-technical colleges. Ark-AHEAD members unite in their common needs and concerns in service to students with disabilities. Ark-AHEAD is affiliated with .

BRTC’s Accessibility Services Resource Center works to assist BRTC students with accommodation services. BRTC seeks to be in compliance with both the spirit and the letter of the law as stated in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, as amended, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Front Row, Left to Right: Candy Taylor, Brittany Milligan, and Bridgette Branson.

During the 2025-2026 academic year, ӣƵ (BRTC) held its first leadership program for faculty and staff members.

The program was built and implemented by Julie Edington, Executive Director of Human Resources, and the President’s Cabinet members. It was designed to strengthen institutional knowledge, develop emerging leaders, and enhance cross-departmental collaboration. The participants engaged in eight sessions over a nine-month period. The sessions covered accreditation, budgeting, compliance, student affairs, academic affairs, emergency preparedness, workforce training, and institutional advancement.

“Our first BRTC Leadership cohort went exceptionally well, Edington said. “By investing in our team today, we are trying to actively prepare for tomorrow by building a stronger, more resilient BRTC.”

In order to graduate the program, participants were required to attend several campus meetings, a legislative session in Little Rock, and an Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board meeting. They also had several tours, including BRTC’s Paragould campus location, the G.I.N. in Paragould, and the State Capitol.

“The Leadership Program gave me a greater appreciation for the many departments, services, and partnerships that make our college such a valuable resource for students and communities,” Graduate Candy Taylor said.

The group was also invited to attend Memorandum of Understanding signings between BRTC and Williams Baptist University, and BRTC and Crowley’s Ridge College. They were also required to assist the Institutional Advancement department with either the Annual Golf Tournament or the Donor Appreciation Reception.

“I feel more prepared for leadership now,” Graduate Brittany Milligan said. “Now I better understand who to go to and what to ask when I need something.”

The cohort graduated May 15 at an end-of-year celebration. They received a plaque to recognize the time and effort they put into the program. The graduates were Bridgette Branson, Adult Education Instructor; Jody Callahan, Workforce Education Development Coordinator; Brittany Milligan, Library Director; Dr. Zachary Singleton, Academic Advisor; Candy Taylor, DOL Project Director; and Johnathan White, Student Affairs Administrative Specialist.

The second cohort is scheduled to begin in September of 2026.

Along with several other healthcare professionals, Conlee spoke on rural health care, how it is changing, and why rural care matters to the community.

A panel discussion stage features a large backdrop of a foggy mountain landscape with a red diamond logo that reads "ARKANSAS INC". On stage, a woman with short blonde hair and glasses sits in a black chair, wearing a bright blue short-sleeved blazer over a black top and dark pants, holding a microphone and papers. To her right, a man in a blue suit and white dress shirt speaks into a handheld microphone while holding documents.

The opening session was moderated by Lynn Hawkins, Chair of the Arkansas Rural Development Commission.
