Dr. Teresa Garrett serving Conway on advisory board

Hendrix College is proud to recognize the contributions of Dr. Teresa A. Garrett in the Conway community. She is currently serving on the City of Conway’s Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Board (BPAB) for a three-year term.

The Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Board is a seven-person committee that strives to make biking and walking safe, convenient, and accessible in Conway. Following guidelines from organizations like the League of American Bicyclists, UNC Highway Safety Research Center, and the Safe Routes to School Program, the BPAB advises best practices for establishing a walk-friendly and bicycle-friendly community.

“I am so happy to have this opportunity to serve,” said Dr. Garrett, Hendrix College Provost. “It is so exciting to become a part of connecting Hendrix with the greater Conway community while promoting an active lifestyle for both recreation and transportation."
