Recent Lion grads are already making an impact.

Meet Sydnie, Criminal Justice Administration graduate.

"I’m a law enforcement officer, D.A.R.E. Instructor for elementary schools, and was recently awarded Officer of the Year for 2025.

MSSU gave me the knowledge and hands-on skills I needed to be the best I can be every day at my job. From the instructors to the classes offered, I was well prepared to join the workforce, and they helped make me confident in my skills in criminal justice."

Following the devastation of the 2011 Joplin tornado, emergency medicine physicians, paramedics, and respiratory therapists rushed to keep up as hospitals across the region were quickly overwhelmed. These conversations grapple with the weight of practicing medicine while entrenched with chaos.
