Jacob Skaggs Graduates from Missouri State University

Posted On 2025-12-12

Special congrats to Jacob Skaggs, a colleague of The Hive of the Ozarks, where I met him. He just graduated from Missouri State University with a Bachelor's degree in the Missouri State Bear POWER program.

Here's an interesting fact, Jacob is a son of Melissa Skaggs, the founder and owner of The Hive.

I saw two faculty members from Ozarks Technical Community College's Disability Support Services program: Jeffrey Jones, the director; and Julie Edwards Holmes. They both no longer work at OTC, just MSU.
