Stewardship In Every Season: 2024 Commencement Address, Ben Sells
Stewardship In Every Season: 2024 Commencement Address, Ben Sells
Press Releases
This year’s university theme has been “lives of meaningful work,” a phrase in our mission statement focused on one purpose of a Ouachita education. There are many dimensions to a life of meaningful work. This morning, I want to highlight one: that we’re called to be stewards in every season of life. This notion is illustrated in Scripture, and you exemplified it at Ouachita.
The Master Teacher, Jesus, tells a story about stewardship known as The Parable of the Talents that’s recorded in Matthew 25.

Based on what your predecessors report, your Ouachita education and experience have prepared you exceedingly well.

You can be confident about that advantage. The more you steward it, the more of an opportunity it will provide.

Last academic year, Ouachita was one of the few universities to provide a fully in-person education. As we prepared for this year, we challenged ourselves to provide all the benefits of a traditional campus experience.In this effort to provide the typical in the least typical of times, we called on our seniors—the only class who remembered a year without COVID—to restore and revive the traditions that make Ouachita, Ouachita.

Focus On Graduates, Not Speakers, Ben Sells
Focus On Graduates, Not Speakers, Ben Sells

I love the pomp and circumstance that marks commencement. It's the most important, picture-perfect day in the life of a university. And as a president, it's a great honor to present a diploma, shake hands and congratulate each graduate.
