Arkansas Tech University commissioned the Tucker Oak illustration, which was created
by local artist Daniel Freeman. It symbolizes that ATU is always changing while remaining
firmly rooted in its history. As a result, it is an appropriate icon for the inauguration
of ATU's 13th president.
Daniel Freeman is a native of Dover, Arkansas, and attended Memphis College of Art.
