Dakota Gordon Recruiter & Student Support Specialist Office: Student Services
|
Hi! I'm Dakota Gordon! I'm 25 years old and proud to have called Arkansas home my entire life. I joined the ATU-Ozark family in 2024 as the Application Processor and stepped into my current role in 2025, where I get to help students feel welcomed, prepared, and excited about their next steps.
I'm currently completing my associate degree in general studies at ATU-Ozark and plan to continue to earn my Bachelor of Arts degree in organizational leadership from Arkansas Tech University. As both a staff member and student, I understand what it's like to navigate college, and I love using that perspective to support others through the admissions and onboarding process.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our dogs, exploring new places, and practicing photography whenever I get the chance!
Whether you have questions about programs, want help getting started, or just want to learn more about what ATU-Ozark has to offer, I'm always happy to help. I love connecting with students and helping them discover their path forward!

Aaron Walton Recruiter Office: Student Services
|
Hi, I'm Aaron Walton! Originally from Clarksville, Arkansas, I graduated from Clarksville High School in 2012. I recently joined the ATU-Ozark family in August 2026 as a Student Recruiter, and I'm excited to begin this new chapter in my career.
I'm currently pursuing my Bachelor of Arts degree in History Education with a focus on secondary education at Grand Canyon University. My goal is to become a teacher and coach, so I'm especially excited to have the opportunity to help students pursue their own educational and career goals.
Outside of work, I enjoy coaching youth baseball and spending time with my wife, Jennifer, and our three children. Our family attends Gracepoint Pentecostal Church in Clarksville, and we are huge sports fans who love cheering on our Philadelphia Eagles.
