We're Unlocking the Mind's Potential!

The University of the Ozarks was the first institution of higher learning to develop a program for college-age students with learning disabilities. The Harvey and Ber- nice Jones Learning Center at the University seeks to teach college students to overcome, cope with and circumvent their specific learning disabilities. The University of the Ozarks is proud of its tradition of leadership in this field and will continue its efforts to expand this service. For more information contact Dr. Dale Jordan at:
