Brant's narrative draws a connection between the hanging of Mary and lynching in the Jim Crow South. The Levee host Estefania Bautista Lopez spoke with Walton Professor of Theatre Dr. Macy Jones and Philosophy of Religion Professor Dr. Dave Daily to discuss those connections as well as the necessity of examining the subject of lynching today.

University President Rich Dunsworth sits down with Levee hosts Hailey Ritter and Kjersta Lybbert to talk about his 13 years of homecomings at Ozarks, the value of connecting generations of Eagles, and some traditions from the past that might be better off left there. What even is a bed race, anyway?

At the beginning of the fall 2025 semester, Chaps took a group to Kansas City for one such trip. The Levee's Hailey Ritter spoke to students after they came back about what they experienced, and how it affected their understanding of what it means to be an Eagle.

They took first place in the small business elevator pitch category and third place in the small business plan category. You can listen to the first episode where the three describe their eco-friendly pet bed business idea here.

The Levee's Estefania Bautista Lopez talks with the trio about their win, representing Ozarks on a bigger stage, and what's next for their business idea.

Host Melany Serrano is joined by Ozarks seniors Mirian Miralda (Art/Marketing) and Alexandra Melgar (Business Administration / Art) to discuss the impact of emerging AI technology in the arts world. They also share their paths to finding art as a pursuit in life, and how it will impact their futures once they graduate.

The story takes place in a small high school during the 2018 #MeToo movement, where students reading The Crucible and discussing abuses of power must also navigate accusations of sexual assault and other misdeeds among their friends and family members.

Dr. Macy Jones, the Walton Chair of Theatre at U of O, talks with host Kjersta Lybbert about the story, its central questions, and how students today navigate those topics. "John Proctor is the Villain" will run April 24-26 and May 1-3 at the Walton Fine Arts Center on the university campus.

The trio are the first students from the U of O to compete in the Governor’s Cup since 2012, and none from the university have ever won the competition.

Host Estefania Bautista sat down with them ahead of the contest to talk about their product, their pets, and their business accomplishments.
