Alumni and Friends
With so many Ouachita alumni in Northwest Arkansas, these events are designed to better engage those of you in the area. Our gatherings will be conversational, with the chance to hear the latest from the university, to give feedback, and to strengthen relationships with each other and Ouachita.
All events are “come and go” style with complimentary refreshments and time to visit with Ben Sells, Ouachita’s president. There is no cost to attend, but please RSVP to help us ensure an accurate count.
