In their words
hear from a faculty member & student
“My finance degree has allowed me to enter my current role (at Simmons Bank) with complete confidence, knowing I have support from the faculty and staff of the Hickingbotham School of Business. The relationships I formed with professors during my time at Ouachita have carried on past graduation, and I am so thankful for their continued guidance as I begin my career. With the information I learned from my finance classes and involvement with the Ary Fund, I have been able to provide input in the workplace that is valued and respected.”
