First and Third Grade students visited the Missouri State University campus. They went to the Department of Information Technology and Cybersecurity, then they went to the Department of Finance, Economics, and Risk Management. Students had a great time learning about new topics from coding to banking! At the end of the trip, each student was presented with a certificate for attending and brought home some fun MSU swag ☺️💙 Thank you MSU!
