Chad Cox works with future students from many of the counties in the state of Arkansas.

He graduated from Ozarks in December 1998, with a B.A. in theatre and returned in August 2006 as an admission counselor. "Between Ozarks and Ozarks," as Chad puts it, he did freelance design work for Arts Center of the Ozarks and as a fundraiser for an organization dedicated to fighting bigotry and racism.  He also spent time as an audio-visual technician for corporate meetings at the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock.

"There's a lot you can do with a theatre degree!" says Chad.  He worked on almost 20 productions while working on his degree and did everything from acting to design work to directing. "I really enjoyed directing," he recalls. "I was fortunate enough to get to direct Miss Julie in the Black Box Theatre and The Odd Couple in Seay Theatre.  It’s fascinating to take a script and [actors] and bring a story to life on stage.”

He often relates his own experience at Ozarks to future students. "The support you get from this campus community is truly amazing, you just have to know when to ask for help.”  He advises students to get a feel for the colleges they are interested in by visiting campus in person. "Live the life of a student on campus for a day and make sure it’s a place you are comfortable and happy ...you'll know when it feels right."

Chad remains a die-hard fan of the University of Arkansas Razorbacks. He and his wife, Brandy, Ozarks' director of alumni relations, live with their sons just outside of Clarksville.

Chad's Territory: Chad travels throughout the state of Arkansas, working with students from all Arkansas high schools except for those in North Central Arkansas, Little Rock, and Crawford, Franklin, and Sebastian counties.
