When it came time earlier this spring for University of the Ozarks senior Vivien Wambugu to choose a graduate school in which to continue her education in the fall, she had an enviable problem.
The health science major from Tulsa, Okla., was accepted into four of the top global health graduate programs in the country George Washington University, Vanderbilt University, Duke University and University of North Carolina. She eventually selected Duke’s Master of Science in Global Health Program.
“I was pretty torn between Vanderbilt and Duke because they both offer such great programs and opportunities,” Wambugu said. “My roommate, Crystal Oudomvilay, and I took a week-long trip to visit both schools, as well as the graduate school she got into. On a rainy day, Crystal and I walked to Duke West Campus, where we got to see Duke Global Health Institute, Duke Hospital

University of the Ozarks students in professor Rebecca Bailey’s voice and diction class are putting their skills and training to use while also entertaining area children.
The students are reading children’s books to their young audience members via Zoom each Thursday for three consecutive weeks in April. The reading project is in partnership with the Johnson County Public Library (JCPL).
Bailey, assistant professor of theatre, said the students are using techniques from
Vocal Viewpoints by acting theorist Anne Bogart.
“It’s exciting to watch them learn the techniques and then implement them in the reading of the stories online,” Bailey said. “With the pandemic, all readings are over Zoom, but we’ve had several children tune in each week. We have a variety of stories from different cultures and for a variety of ages.”
