OBU Support System
The MK Big Brother/Sister program is designed to help entering freshmen adjust to like at Ouahita Baptist University and perhaps help with the new student's adjustment to like in the good ol' USA!
Entering freshmen or transfer students are assigned an upper-class MK as their Big Bro/Sis. The Big Bro/Sis will contact the new MK upon their arrival to OBU. The Big Bro/Sis will be available to assiste the new KM in any way and also be a listening ear.
Campus Ministry's MK Student Leader is Gabrielle (Gabri) Sanders.

The MK Task Force plays a central role in OBU's efforts to provide the best possible experience for the Missionary Kids who are part of the Ouachita student body each year. The Task Force enables us to coordinate the work of the offices, programs, and individual faculty and staff members concerned with giving effective assistance to MKs.
