Creating community, one amazing dish at a time
Get PDFOuachita Baptist University has been a home away from home for students from all over the world. Although Ouachita was founded in 1886, the first international student only stepped onto campus in 1923 and came all the way from China. In 2023, we have reached 100 celebratory years since Ouachita’s first international student arrived, and our campus continues to value the attendance and presence of international students.
More than 100 countries have been represented at Ouachita by our international students. Through this common ground, a strong international community has been fostered among them. International students find strength and safety in knowing that there are others around them who are also far from home; they have one another as support, and they care for each other
Why we engage
Get PDFContemporary higher education narratives can be negative, often deservedly so. Alternatively, Ouachita’s story is positive – in large part because of our determination to engage.
We engage students. I tell prospective students, “If you don’t want us to know your name, don’t come to Ouachita.” We intend to be a campus where students are known, cultivating a tightly-knit community, believing the personal investment of our lives in students’ lives matters. This ethos helps explain why our four-year graduation rate is almost double the state’s average. Similarly, it explains why our career outcomes rate – the percentage of our grads employed or accepted to graduate school within six months of graduating – is 99% compared to the 84% national average
Spinning the wheel and chasing a dream
Get PDFHollywood really is where the American dream is made.
Growing up, I watched “Wheel of Fortune” every night with my parents. I still watch with them when I’m home. Usually, I answered correctly the most quickly. Several times, my parents suggested that I apply to “Wheel of Fortune.”
During Christmas Break 2021, we were watching “Wheel of Fortune.” One commercial showed Pat Sajak and Vanna White telling viewers how to apply to become a contestant on the show. All you had to do was submit a video introducing yourself and explaining why you would be a great fit.
My boyfriend and I both submitted videos. In early June 2022, I got a callback to do a Zoom audition; my boyfriend did not. The Zoom audition was simple, much to my relief. The other two potential contestants and I solved toss-up puzzles competitively, introduced ourselves and individually did lightning round. The contestant coordinator told us that if we did not hear back within a month, we should try again next year

The Effect of Nurse Overtime on Patient Mortality Due to Myocardial Infarction in the Emergency Department
No full textCore Activation Through the Measurement of Traditional vs. Non-Traditional Core Exercises
No full textAthletic trainers at the collegiate level have a responsibility to their athletes to prepare them in core endurance and strength for their specific needs. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of muscle fiber recruitment between traditional core exercises and non-traditional core exercises measured by an electromyography (EMG) machine in different vital core muscles. Twenty-four college students participated and were randomly sorted into two exercise groups, traditional or non-traditional. The traditional core exercise group performed ten bicycle crunches while the non-traditional core exercise group performed ten stability ball passes for each trial recorded. The participants wore four EMG electrodes on two regions of their abdomen to capture their muscle fiber recruitment while performing the exercise. The EMG electrodes were placed on the upper rectus abdominis and the external obliques. The study was completed over a series of four weeks. Four paired T-tests were performed to obtain p-values to evaluate the significance of change in muscle fiber recruitment over the course of the study. Significance was set at a P-value of p\u3e0.05. The traditional groups external obliques resulted in a p-value of 0.0215 and a mean difference of 17.05, nontraditional groups external obliques resulted in a p-value of 0.0540 with a mean difference of 11.334, traditional groups rectus abdominis resulted in a p-value of 0.113 with a mean difference of 15.417, and the nontraditional groups rectus abdominis resulted in a p-value of 0.181 with a mean difference of 8.125. It was concluded that there was a significant difference in the rectus abdominis muscle motor unit recruitment in both the traditional and nontraditional group exercise, with a higher significance in the traditional group exercise
Nutrition Knowledge of Young Adults: How has K-12 Education Affected the Health of Young Adults in 2023
No full textBackground: Nutrition knowledge is very important in order to live a healthy lifestyle and to positively impact overall health. There is research studying the effects of nutrition education and that affects students involved in K-12 schooling, but there is a lack of research following those students beyond the classroom and to their young adult years.
Objective: The researcher’s goal was to better understand how much young adults know about basic nutrition from previous education, if different types of schooling (public, private, homeschool, etc.) taught nutrition related classes/lessons, and if different geographical regions provided nutrition education.
Design: the design was a questionnaire form sent to young adults in the greater Little Rock area. The research was collected in the beginning of February 2023.
Participants/Setting: Research was conducted in the greater Little Rock area from young adults that grew up in different regions in the United States and that went to different types of schools.
Statistical Analysis: Google sheets was used to organize the data.
Results: There was a total of 26 females and 8 males (n=34) that completed the survey. The questionnaire average score for the southern (n=30) region was 51.6%, the mid-west (n=3) average was 36.1%, and the western region score (n=1) was 58.3% 1 participant had an underweight BMI, 20 participants had normal BMIs, 8 participants had overweight BMIs, and 5 people had obese BMIs.
Conclusion: The research shows the gaps in nutrition knowledge of young adults living in the greater Little Rock area. There were no significant findings to this study
