Sarah Stone, Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering Technology, 2024

Sarah Stone of St. James, Missouri, earned a Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering Technology in 2024. She shares, “During my time with Excelsior, I had no clue just how far in life I would go without even leaving the county I reside in. Becoming a nuclear engineer as a single mom was not an easy journey, but it is a journey that I am grateful for and always will be. After finishing my degree, I obtained my dream job two months later as a health physicist! I am now the campus health physicist here at Missouri University of Science and Technology, was given the opportunity to speak to our students during a nuclear symposium, and I have become the person I was destined to be. So, to all of you currently working on your degrees, do not quit, do not give up, do not falter, your journey is yours to bring ever upward to greatness!”
