Ouachita trustees celebrate campaign milestone, authorize feasibility study for new nursing degree

Convening Ouachita Baptist University’s first Board of Trustees meeting since the election of Dr. Ben Sells as OBU’s 16th president, trustees addressed a number of key issues, ranging from a major fundraising milestone to a nursing feasibility study. As trustees gathered on campus June 9 for their summer meeting, Board Chairman Jay Heflin affirmed that university leaders are “thankful to usher in the Ben Sells era at Ouachita Baptist University.” “It’s a privilege for me to be here in this role,” Dr. Sells responded. “I think we can and we will dream a larger dream that honors God, that advances the Ouachita mission, that helps Arkansas Baptists and serves the common good.
