Abstract
Ouachita prides itself in its personal approach to higher education, from the thoughtful attention prospective students receive during their college search, to the ways faculty and staff invest in students’ lives, to our commitment to tight-knit Christian community, which is built in dozens of ways for students whether they live on campus or attend classes online. During the pandemic, this level of engagement was challenged. Physical distance separated us; events, classes and residence life took new approaches.
While life over the last year slowly began to look more like the pre-pandemic world, things came into focus on campus even more this fall. Homecoming events and Tiger Tunes performances returned to “normal” levels, new buildings opened to facilitate engagement in the classroom and residence life and we engaged with Ouachita’s imperfect past as we honored Black alumni in the newly named Green- Blevins Rotunda. Faculty and staff continually seek to engage students in new ways through new academic programs, such as a new Master of Business Administration degree, and memorable opportunities outside of the classroom, like performing at the historic inauguration of Gov. Sarah (Huckabee) Sanders ’04.
