April 06, 2010 - Brooke ZimnyOuachita Baptist University will welcome prospective students and their families to
campus for Tiger Friday April 9. To register, visit www.obu.edu/tigerfridays.
Tiger Fridays offer prospective students and their parents an opportunity to experience
Ouachita through campus tours, visiting a class, panel discussions and a meal in the
Ouachita Commons. Visitors will also enjoy personal interaction with OBU’s admissions
staff, faculty and administration.
“It is decision-making time for high school seniors,” said Ashlee Giles, OBU admissions
counselor, “so this event is a great opportunity to ‘one stop shop’ and check out
class offerings, faculty and staff involvement, student life and financial aid options
here at Ouachita. It is also a great time for those students who are beginning their
college search early to see what Ouachita has to offer.”
The day begins with an opening program in Young Auditorium at 9 a.m., followed by
an opportunity at 9:30 a.m. for students and parents to learn more about Ouachita’s
academic programs in a meeting with an admissions counselor and the dean of the school
that they are interested in entering.
At 10 a.m., students and their families will join an admissions counselor for a tour
of Ouachita’s campus. At 11 a.m., students have the opportunity to attend a class
of their choice. While students are in class at 11 a.m., parents are invited to visit
with administrators for a question-and-answer panel in Young Auditorium.
At 12 noon, guests are invited to eat in the Alumni Room of the Ouachita Commons,
where they can visit with other parents, students and members of the Ouachita community.
