Eric Leon enters his fifth year as a staff member at the University of the Ozarks. Leon, who is a former international student at Ozarks, assists the admission office by keeping in contact with all prospective students who live outside of the United States.

Having heard about Ozarks through a friend in Panama that received the Walton Scholarship, Leon applied and received the International Achievement Scholarship before eventually graduating from U of O in 2003 with a bachelor's degree in Marketing.

In his free time, Leon still visits his family in Panama, along with watching movies, taking roadtrips, cooking and working on computers.
