Landry Oaks, from Newtown, MO, has been selected as North Central Missouri College’s Outstanding Student for August. She is a Missouri A+ scholarship student pursuing her associate in science degree and plans to graduate in May. After graduating from NCMC, Landry plans to transfer to the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) to attend pharmacy school.
At NCMC, Landry is involved in Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society, is a student Ambassador, and works at the campus bookstore. Her favorite class is Zoology, which is taught by instructor Dr. Susan Stull. Her favorite things about NCMC are the people and the community. Landry said, “I grew up here; the community of NCMC is like family. Everyone, all your instructors and all the staff, want to see you succeed.”
Landry went on to say, “I chose NCMC because it is affordable, and I was able to use my A+. I am getting an excellent education with free tuition. NCMC is close to home, but I am still getting the college experience. I get to be around those I know while still meeting new people.”
Each month, a student is nominated by a faculty or staff member to be featured as an Outstanding Student based on their dedication to educational success, attitude toward learning, and hard work in their field and activities.
