Williams Baptist College of Walnut Ridge, Arkansas announced this week that it will change its name to Williams Baptist University by July 1, 2018.
Williams Baptist celebrated the 75th anniversary of its founding last year. The institution was founded in 1941 as Southern Baptist College and was initially located in Pocahontas, AR. The campus was relocated in 1947 to a former World War II military base at Walnut Ridge.
A report on the change was also published this week by the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette, "Williams Baptist alters name."
