The ASU System Board of Trustees approved the name of the technical campus in July 2023, choosing to name it in honor of Dr. Myers for his contributions to the campus.
“Several years ago, Dr. Myers saw the future and knew that the college would have to expand if we were going to be able to adequately serve employers in our area,” Dr. Wallace said during the dedication, “He had a vision but needed a place for it to be fulfilled.”
According to a news release, the Czeschin and Newth families have a long history with ASUMH. They were recognized for their support with the naming of the Czeshin-Newth Workforce Development Center.

FAYETTEVILLE — Ryan Silverfield will be officially introduced as the 35th head coach of Arkansas football on Thursday, Dec. 4.
That’s when Silverfield will have his first press conference. The media session is scheduled for 1 p.m. Four hours later, Silverfield will be introduced to the public with a celebration inside the Walker Pavilion. That event is free to attend, with doors opening at 4 p.m.
Razorbacks athletic director Hunter Yurachek will also take part in Silverfield’s press conference with the local media.
Silverfield arrives in Arkansas after spending the previous decade at Memphis. He worked his way from assistant to head coach, taking over as the Tigers’ leader after Mike Norvell left for Florida State in 2019.
In six full seasons as the Memphis coach, Silverfield went 50-25, including a pair of 10-plus win seasons in 2023 and 2024. He earned bowl eligibility in all six years.
With eight wins this season, Memphis has posted 29 victories over the last three seasons to be among the nation’s top-15 programs in wins.
Before Memphis, Silverfield had stints at the high school, college and NFL ranks. He served as an assistant coach for the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings and spent time at Jacksonville, UCF, Toledo and Arizona State.
Arkansas craves the kind of consistent winning Silverfield experienced with the Tigers. The Hogs are coming off a 2-10 campaign under the combination of Pittman and interim coach Bobby Petrino. In their past three seasons, the Razorbacks have a combined record of 13-24 overall. That mark drops to 4-20 in the SEC.
