SCN8A Awareness Day
February 9 was International SCN8A Awareness Day and first-year students from our Radiography program wore purple to show support!
SCN8A is a rare disorder that causes severe epilepsy, developmental delay, and other medical challenges. By wearing purple, our students were honoring Stella Craig, the daughter of Cox College’s ASR Program Director who was diagnosed with SCN8A.

New Springfield Flag
The City of Springfield is represented by a brand new flag and it now flies at Cox College!
According to sgfflag.org, the flag’s design is symbolic of several things that make Springfield unique. The white stripe represents the Ozark Plateau and Route 66; the crown pays homage to the moniker “Queen City of the Ozarks”; and the 3 stars represent innovative spirit, connection with nature, and Ozarks culture.
