👏Congratulations to Ozarks Tech student Jackson Byrd!
💙His oil pastel, “Wings of Conservation,” now hangs in the Missouri Governor’s Mansion after he presented it to Governor Mike Kehoe. Named the 2024 Youth Conservationist of the Year by the Conservation Federation of Missouri, Jackson is deeply involved in environmental efforts nationwide and will lead the OTC Green Council next year.
🦅Attending Ozarks Tech on an A+ scholarship, Jackson plans to major in Wildlife Biology and Fisheries with a minor in Art. He describes his piece as symbolic of “past successes and the future of conservation in Missouri,” with the bald eagle representing one of America’s greatest conservation success stories. The eagle’s wings symbolize the state government’s role in preserving conservation efforts in Missouri.

Congratulations, Mary👏
We’re proud to recognize one of Ozarks Tech’s most outstanding students, Mary Higginbotham, a true example of determination and leadership.
Mary returned to college in her 30s with one goal: to build a better future. And she’s doing just that. She’s been named the Coca-Cola 2025 New Century Transfer Pathway Scholar by @phithetakappa Honor Society and received the Oberndorf Lifeline to Completion Scholarship, a national award honoring students who overcome significant challenges to stay on track.
Here at Ozarks Tech, Mary is known for her impact. She leads in @ptk.otc, supports her peers through the Honors Office, and never stops giving back.
Mary recently represented Ozarks Tech at the Phi Theta Kappa Presidents Breakfast, and next up, she’ll take the stage as our 2025 Commencement student speaker.
💙We’re proud of you, Mary, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
