The festivities of Thanksgiving: professors share their traditions
November 21, 2018Family traditions are more common during this jacket-wearing, Hallmark movie time of year. Some may say family football is the way to go. Others may say homemade sweet potato casserole is key to the holiday festivities. With different people holding different traditions, this time of year can be meaningful for each of us in different ways.
“When I first walked on campus, I knew instantly that this was the school for me. It had a very different atmosphere than all the other schools that I visited.” Read more about Brittany, an elementary education major from Shreveport, La.
From the earliest years of their lives, Jenny (’82), Bobby (’83), John (’84), Leigh Anna (’89) and April (’94) were immersed in all that is Ouachita. Their parents, Marianne (’55) and Bob (’56), made sure that they were well acquainted with the small-town college in Southern Arkansas.
Tips for visiting campus: Make the most of your college visit
June 18, 2018Visiting campus is a huge part of the college selection process. It gives you a glimpse into campus life and allows you to physically see all that the school has to offer.

Ouachita Tigers Basketball Camp makes an impact in Wyoming
November 06, 2018I believe God often uses sports as an avenue for people to share the gospel of Christ. We see this through great organizations such as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

“Did we get everything?,” my father asked. With soft tears in my eyes, I said, “Yes, I think it’s time to go.” I remember move-in day like it was yesterday. I’m the oldest of three kids, and I’ve always been close to my family. Living in Louisiana, I felt that I would be so distant from my family when I left for Ouachita – so distant from what I always knew as home.
