Life at MOSO

Transcript

We’re joined now by Madison, a senior biology major who lives in the most recent addition to campus housing, Lion Village. From residential life and a wide variety of student organizations to explore, to fraternities and sororities and plenty of campus activities to enjoy, she’s here to tell us more about life at MSSU. You’re up, Madison.

– Thanks, Alex. Hey, y’all. I always knew I wanted to stay close to home for college. And after discovering that Missouri Southern’s Advanced Medical School Acceptance Program would allow me to follow my dreams of becoming a physician, I knew it would be the perfect fit for me. Living on campus has given me a front row seat to all that MSSU has to offer. Lion Village, our newest residence hall, offers open study areas for students to gather, a movie theater, private rooms, full kitchens, and living areas and so much more. One of the best parts about being a student at MSSU is all of the opportunities to get involved on campus. I serve as the president of Our Chapter of Omicron Delta Kappa, the national leadership honor society where service is heavily valued. Our service projects include the annual One Warm Coat Drive, where we collect clothing for a local shelter, as well as the Boys & Girls Club. I also serve as the vice president of Women in Science, one of the most active clubs on campus. It’s a place where we can lift one another up while we share our passion for the STEM fields with campus and the community. We have several fraternity and sorority chapters if you’re interested in Greek life. We also have a 71,000 square foot recreation center where various fitness classes are offered along with an Esports center for all you gamers out there. There are numerous student organizations to join. You can even help shape what’s offered by being a member of the Campus Activities Board. There is such a close knit feeling at Missouri Southern State University. It’s an environment that truly feels like family and has allowed me to reach my full potential. That’s my story. Thanks for listening, Alex.

– A close knit family, that’s a great way to describe life at Missouri Southern. Madison, thanks for sharing your experience with us. There’s an active campus life awaiting you here at MSSU, which is an integral part of what students are looking for when considering the college experience. I may need to stop by the Esports center to get my game on before we’re through. Take care.
