Spring 2022 Graduation Highlight:
Stephanie Contreras

Stephanie has been working at OLLU for the past 8 years in the registrar’s office and as an academic advisor. When she was offered the chance to continue her studies while working full time,

"I took the opportunity and now here I am. It was a hard 2 and a half years working 8-5 and then attending night school two nights a week. My experience in grad school was amazing".
..

Congratulations, Stephanie! We are so very proud of you.

Happy Mother's Day

“The clocks were striking midnight and the rooms were very still as a figure glided quietly from bed to bed, smoothing a coverlid here, settling a pillow there, and pausing to look long and tenderly at each unconscious face, to kiss each with lips that mutely blessed, and to pray the fervent prayers which only mothers utter."

- Louisa May Alcott, Little Women (1868)

Whether it is your biological mother or adopted mother, take the time to let that special someone know how much they mean to you!

Intro to Poetry, ENGL 2336

"... My goal in coming to OLLU is to become a creative writer."

English MA-MFA Graduate Student Testimonial
Kate Wood

"I chose OLLU's program because I am a HS teacher who is interested in becoming a writer, so I wanted a program that would not only be useful for what I do in my classroom but also ... in my goals outside the classroom."..
PHIL 7315
Seminar on Social Justice
Dr. Jobe

"I have been able to achieve this with such classes as Philosophy of Social Justice that has been essential for my classroom as I work to become a campus leader. I want to be mindful of recidivism, transformative justice, and help correct the school to prison pipeline."..
ENGL 7339
Literature of Identity and Power
Dr. Larson

"As a writer, the Disability Literature course was immensely helpful because it gave me ways to look at my own disabilities and my own struggles and turn it into writing. I often discount and minimize my own experiences. And, that class helped me see that my experiences have value, and weight in my writing."..
Kate Wood (they/them) graduated in 2010 from Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, with a BFA in Technical Theatre Arts. Originally from Mountain Home, Arkansas, Kate met their partner, Fred, a born and raised San Antonian, while traveling for work in theatre.
