The Ouachita Baptist University Department of Language and Literature will host alumnus
John Sivils to speak on campus about his experience in law school. He will speak at
its “Think Odd, It’s Not Friday” lunch meeting. The event, co-sponsored by the Ouachita
Pre-Law Society, will be held Monday, March 12, at noon in the Ouachita Commons Alumni
Room and is open to the public.
The event is based on the department’s “Think Odd, It’s Friday” lunch meeting, where
every odd Friday students and faculty gather to discuss topics of interest.
“Guest speakers will come and talk, or a student or faculty member will present on
a topic,” said Dr. Doug Sonheim, chair of the Department of Language and Literature
and holder of the Clarence and Bennie Sue Anthony Chair of Bible and Humanities. “John
will be talking to students about law school, how to get in and how to thrive once
you are there. He’s going to be very encouraging and very practical.”
Sivils worked at Medlock Law Firm in Arkadelphia his senior year of college before
graduating from Ouachita in 2017 with a degree in English. He currently attends law
school at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and made the Dean’s List his first
semester.
“I’m excited to come back to my alma mater to share my experience at Southern Methodist
University Law,” Sivils said. “Current Ouachita students who are even slightly interested
in law school are encouraged to come hear about what the life of a first-year law
student looks like and get tips on how to prepare for the unique challenges of legal
education.”
