PER CURIAM.
Angela Armstrong appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in her action against the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas,
1The Honorable Brian S. Miller, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.

in which she alleged she was subjected to a hostile work environment and retaliated
against, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Upon careful review, we
conclude that Armstrong failed to present sufficient evidence to establish an
actionable hostile work environment claim. See Gilbert v. Des Moines Area Cmty.
College, 495 F.3d 906, 913 (8th Cir. 2007) (standard of review); see also Paskert v.
Kemna-Asa Auto Plaza, Inc., 950 F.3d 535, 538 (8th Cir. 2020). We also agree with
the district court that Armstrong failed to demonstrate that she was retaliated against
for filing a hostile work environment complaint. See Tyler v. Univ. of Ark. Bd. of
Trustees, 628 F.3d 980, 985 (8th Cir. 2011).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
