Ouachita Baptist University’s Elrod Center for Family and Community held its Fall 2020 Tiger Serve Day event on Saturday, Sep. 26, with 116 teams and 850 total volunteers participating.

The Williams Baptist University Board of Trustees conducted its regular fall meeting on the university campus Friday, September 11. It marked the first gathering of the full board on campus since December 2019.

A new school year brings new opportunities for college outreach programs. Leaders must find ways to engage students within the community and on campus. Baptist Collegiate Ministries are no different. However, many didn’t know what the fall was going to look like thanks to COVID-19.

Even amid the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ouachita Baptist University’s fall 2020 enrollment has grown to 1,704, a 4% increase from fall 2019 and the highest headcount the university has seen since 2000.

Ouachita was one of the few institutions in the state to continue summer research during the COVID-19 pandemic

Ouachita Baptist University (OBU) launched its online bachelor/associate degree programs in 2015, so when COVID-19 hit, their programs were virtually unaffected.

At Ouachita Baptist University (OBU) and Williams Baptist University (WBU), students returned and started classes this week.

One of the major misconceptions about higher education is the idea that students pursue a degree to get a better job than they might get if they did not go college.
