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."
