Getting an education without breaking the bank

Saturday, May 11, 2019

Congratulations to the Southeast Missouri State University graduates this weekend as they celebrate at commencement. It's a special time for these students. It certainly was for me in 2008 and then again in 2010 when I walked across the stage at the Show Me Center. (One of my fondest memories of 2008's commencement was hearing the keynote from Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh, Jr.) The path to graduation is not easy, from deciding what field to study to paying for college.
