Abstract
Navigating college always has its unique challenges, but doing so in the midst of a global pandemic is a feat that seemed nearly impossible a year ago. When we left campus suddenly in March of 2020, the uncertainty surrounding my college career was enough to literally move me to tears. I had spent my entire life hearing family members and friends tell stories of their time at Ouachita and longing for the day I was on campus, and I did not want to come to terms with my time being cut short. However, in the middle of the chaos, I could still see just how incredible the Ouachita community is.
This past school year, I served as vice president of the Ouachita Student Foundation (OSF) and will have the honor to serve as president for 2021-2022. Because of my leadership role, I was able to serve on President’s Leadership Circle (PLC). This newly established group of 165 students enjoyed a direct line of communication with Dr. Ben Sells, Ouachita’s president, to make suggestions for how the school could navigate the current situation and be informed and encouraged as leaders of our respective groups. Having that firsthand experience is something we will all value going into our careers.
