More than 700 Ouachita volunteers serve Arkadelphia community
October 04, 2024Ouachita Baptist University’s Ben M. Elrod Center for Family & Community held its 55th Tiger Serve Day on Saturday, Sept. 28. More than 700 Ouachita students, faculty and staff volunteered by completing 92 projects at homes, churches, nonprofits and other locations throughout Arkadelphia.
This year’s university theme has been “lives of meaningful work,” a phrase in our mission statement focused on one purpose of a Ouachita education.

This notion is illustrated in Scripture, and you exemplified it at Ouachita.
