GROW [Getting Ready for Ouachita's World]

October 10-11, 2013

We are happy to extend an invitation to high school juniors and seniors to attend GROW (Getting Ready for Ouachita’s World), Ouachita Baptist University’s premier prospective student event, on October 10-11, 2013. This unique experience provides you with a glimpse into a day in the life of a Ouachita student and allows you the opportunity to attend classes, spend the night in a residence hall, and visit with Ouachita’s faculty, staff and current students. Our hope is that these two days will help prepare you for life at Ouachita.

Ouachita has been around for more than 125 years! In that time Ouachita has been preparing students to be men and women characterized by personal dignity, intelligence, integrity, a world vision and a vital Christian faith. The path to this success is quite an experience. It involves exploring new academic frontiers with professors who genuinely love to teach. It’s about learning who you are and what you believe in a diverse Christian community. It’s having fun at a place where campus activities are rivaled only by the abundant recreational opportunities in this area of the Natural State. And it means discovering life-long relationships in a place that can become home.

Space is limited, so don’t wait to register. Paying your $35 registration fee will complete your registration and hold your spot for the best campus visit event! Make sure to bring your signed waiver with you when you come! For more information, please feel free to contact the Office of Admissions Counseling at 1.800.342.5628 (DIAL.OBU) or email us at admissions@obu.edu. We look forward to seeing you at GROW!
