“Our first Griffon Experience was amazing,” said Evan Banks, campus visits program coordinator. “We received fantastic feedback. Everyone left with smiles, and they all learned something through the interactive experiences we provided.”

The third Griffon Experience of the fall, Oct. 30, will be a True Crime Halloween. Students will help solve the mystery of the missing mace and get a deep dive into Missouri Western’s programs centered around the criminal justice system (forensic investigation, criminal justice, chemistry, psychology, law, and legal assistant). Spring semester Griffon Experiences are scheduled Feb. 5, March 5 and April 2, 2022.
