University of the Ozarks Annual Report 2021-2022

ANNUAL

REPORT 2021 – 2022

From the

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT Hello and welcome to the University of the Ozarks’ 2021-22 Annual Report.

In the following pages you will read about many of the University’s achievements and milestones of the past academic year, highlighted by the opening of the new Thomas and Frances Wilson Science Center. As I’ve walked by the striking new facility in recent months, I can’t help but smile as I think about the Wilsons and how they first became acquainted with Ozarks. Thomas and Frances were founding members of John Knox Presbyterian Church in Tulsa, Okla., and became acquainted with Ozarks through lifetime trustee Richard “Dick” Bagwell and his wife, Kay. Inspired by Ozarks’ mission of educational service in the Presbyterian tradition, the Wilsons have since established multiple scholarship and program endowments to support Ozarks students.

They went on to fund the complete renovation of Munger-Wilson Memorial Chapel and the construction of the Wilson Family Chapel Plaza in 2015.

As Frances learned more about the need to renovate and expand the science center, she was moved by the stories of those in Ozarks’ past who had built and carried our science program so far. She was inspired by the grit and determination of legendary science professor Dr. T.L. “Prof” Smith and the generosity of Dr. Alvin C. Broyles, Ozarks Class of 1941, for whom the science center in the past iteration was named. And, so it is that this bright new marvel of modern science, research, architecture, engineering, and construction, the Thomas and Frances Wilson Science Center, stands as testament to the Wilsons’ enduring love for one another, their deep faith in God, and their desire to help young men and women achieve their educational dreams.

Regardless of your “how” or “why,” thank you for your continued commitment to and support of Ozarks and its students.”

Richard L. Dunsworth, University President

How the Wilsons became aware of Ozarks is a prime example of the power and value of relationships and how those relationships can change the course of an institution. In the following pages, you will see the names of alumni and friends who generously supported Ozarks and its mission in 2021-22. Many of these supporters attended and graduated from this University and have lived first-hand the positive impact than an Ozarks education has had on their lives. Some of these supporters are current and former faculty, staff or board of trustee members who have lived the Ozarks mission and are determined to help it continue. And others, like the Wilsons, heard about Ozarks from a friend or colleague and are inspired by this University’s amazing 188-year legacy of transforming the lives of young men and women.

So, regardless of your “how” or “why,” thank you for your continued commitment to and support of Ozarks and its students. The University is uncommonly blessed to have such wonderful alumni and friends. And, if you have the opportunity, I hope that you will share the remarkable work that we’re doing here at Ozarks far and wide and invite others to join us in fulfilling our mission.

Humbly,

Rich

The University was also ranked 18th in the South in the “Social Mobility” category. This new category represents those colleges that are most successful at “advancing social mobility by enrolling and graduating large proportions of disadvantaged students awarded with Pell Grants.”

The University’s Board of Trustees voted in April to freeze tuition for the 2022-23 academic year, the eighth time in the past decade the University has not raised tuition from the previous year. Since 2013, tuition at Ozarks has risen just 5 percent, compared to a nearly 30 percent national average over the past decade. /// 4

“This experience has definitely broadened my horizons and exposed me to new people, cultures and ideas. As I go forward into the world from Ozarks, I will do so having met people from diverse backgrounds that I wouldn’t have been able to without this experience.”

Sade

EXPERIENTIAL Learning

Seymour

Experiential learning is the process in which students develop knowledge and skills from direct experiences outside the Ozarks classroom. Sade Seymour, a 2022 communication studies graduate from The Bahamas, was heavily involved in media production through the University’s television station, KUOZ. She worked on and produced numerous livestream events during her time at Ozarks, which helped her secure a position at an Arkansas television station following graduation.

“I had many wonderful hands-on opportunities and experiences outside the classroom that fully prepared me for a career in either television, digital marketing or communications. I couldn’t imagine having a better college experience than I did at Ozarks .” /// 14

Teaching EXCELLENCE

Rev. Jeremy

Wilhelmi

Sometimes the most impactful learning experiences happen outside the classroom.

During Spring Break 2022, University Chaplain Rev. Jeremy Wilhelmi led a group of students to the U.S.-Mexico border for a week-long trip to view first-hand the immigration and border issues. The Ozarks contingent heard from people on all sides of the issue, including local citizens, immigrants from Mexico and members of the U.S. Border Patrol.

“I wanted to provide an opportunity for our students to see complex issues with their own eyes, hear the stories with their own ears and discern what is good and true with their own hearts. I wanted them to discern how the lens of faith should influence that discernment in complex humanitarian issues.”
