T. Kale Gober

Gober joins GCU after spending the past four years rebuilding the Division of Advancement at the University of Central Arkansas. Prior to UCA, he served as Assistant Athletic Director for Development at the University of Arkansas. He started his career at his alma mater, Henderson State University, where he served as the Director of Athletics for three years.

Gober said his priority will be to further expand the culture of philanthropy at GCU through fundraising campaigns that enable the University to continue to invest in state-of-the-art classrooms, laboratories and student amenities while also impacting the surrounding community. One of those efforts is a Students Inspiring Students (SIS) pay-it-forward scholarship program that already has awarded 261 full-tuition scholarships in four years to high-achieving high school seniors who seek academic assistance at GCU's Learning Lounge and otherwise couldn't afford to go to college.
