Fort Smith-based ACHE announced in early June that Blondin would be the interim president following the departure of Kyle Parker, the founding president of ACHE. ACHE includes five programs: the ARCOM, School of Physical Therapy (ACHE PT), School of Occupational Therapy (ACHE OT), Master of Science in Biomedicine (MSB), and Master of Public Health (MPH). ‘VERY DECISIVE’“I hoped I would be back in Arkansas,” Blondin said during her recent interview. She said there is no “definite timeline” to her tenure as interim president, and she is eager to help the board in the process to hire the next ACHE president. “I would have expected that Fort Smith would have grown,” she said.
