JOPLIN, Mo. — Missouri Southern is giving international students a taste of an American tradition.

Sunday afternoon MSSU held its first Thanksgiving dinner for international students at the North End Zone Facility.

Students from more than 20 countries enjoyed a classic Thanksgiving meal with turkey and all the trimmings.

Missouri Southern’s President spoke about the history of Thanksgiving and invited students to share what they are thankful for.

“It was delicious having the turkey here, stuffing something we never really have in our country I love it. I love the socializing with all the people here with the Governor’s with all the students I actually never knew because they were here a longer time than me,” said Noah Wilssens, International student from Belgium.

“I hope they learn about Thanksgiving as an American holiday, but I also hope they feel even more welcome at Missouri Southern when they meet our staff, our leadership our board members,” said Dr. Dean Van Galen, MSSU President.

MSSU had a photo booth with a turkey and invited students to take home some leftovers.

JOPLIN, Mo. — Missouri Southern is inducting its newest members into its National Leadership Honor Society.

Sunday afternoon 33 students and five faculty and staff members were inducted into the Golden Crest Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa.

The students were nominated into the honor society and selected by current members.

ODK recognizes achievement in academics and research, athletics, communications, service to campus and community and creative and performing arts.

“It’s a group of leaders so they’re very busy and now they have to add something else to their plate. So they get more busyness, but they also get the opportunity for leadership conferences. The opportunity for scholarships from graduate school and the opportunity for networking nationwide with all of the other members of ODK,” said Michael Garoutte, Professor of chemistry and ODK Faculty Advisor.

ODK is limited to 3% of the student body at MSSU.
