Notice of Operational Change at The Keeter Center

After prayerful and thoughtful consideration, College of the Ozarks has decided to reduce Sunday operations to honor the Sabbath and provide students and staff time for worship and rest. Beginning August 4, 2025, the restaurant, bakery, creamery, and gift shop will be closed to the public every Sunday thereafter. 

We invite you to view our FAQ section below and the College’s official press release for further details.

This change will allow us to enhance and further focus on providing exceptional dining and hospitality experiences Monday through Saturday. We are deeply grateful for your continued support and commitment to our mission of helping students graduate debt free.
