We are excited to share that Honesty Beaton, East High, 2022, has been admitted to the Accelerated Master’s Degree program at Fort Hays State University(FHSU), set to begin in the spring 2025 semester. This program will allow Honesty to complete nine credit hours of graduate coursework in Cybersecurity while finishing her senior year. This accelerated path means that by December 2025, she will have completed her bachelor’s degree (in three and a half years) and anticipates earning her master’s no later than May 2027.
 
 
In addition to her academic pursuits, Honesty has secured an internship as a Data Engineering Intern with Centene, a healthcare insurance company. This role will involve updating backend documentation, where Honesty will gain valuable insights into programming, business, and healthcare laws. The internship offers a blend of her healthcare and computer science passions, building on her experience as an Attendant Care worker at the Iroquois Center for Human Development and as a Student Mixed Reality Developer at FHSU.
 
 
Honesty shared, “I’m thrilled for the upcoming start of my Accelerated Master’s in Cybersecurity this spring, followed by the opportunity to start as a Data Engineering Intern with Centene this summer! This year will be an incredible journey as I explore my passions for healthcare, technology, and cybersecurity. I’m looking forward to deepening my programming skills, learning about business and healthcare laws, and exploring the intersection of these fields in new and meaningful ways!

Nicole Moussa, Independent, 2023, has taken on multiple leadership roles at the University of Tulsa while excelling academically. Among these achievements, Nicole was chosen to serve as a Peer Mentor, a position filled by only 60 students selected through a rigorous interview process. As a Peer Mentor, she has played a vital role in helping freshmen transition to college life, guiding them through orientation, fostering connections, ensuring their well-being, and teaching weekly classes.

Nicole was also selected to serve as the Homecoming Chairperson for the Student Activity Board. In this role, she successfully planned and executed six large-scale events for the campus and local community in the lead-up to Homecoming, bringing students together in celebration and building a strong sense of community spirit.

Nicole’s dedication to representing The University of Tulsa also earned her a position as a University Ambassador. In this role, she works with the admissions office, giving campus tours and connecting with prospective students and their families. As one of their first impressions of the university, Nicole takes pride in showcasing everything TU offers and inspiring the next generation of students.

Beyond her leadership roles, Nicole has demonstrated excellence in the classroom, earning induction into the Phi Beta Sigma Honor Society and a place on the Presidential Honor Roll.

While reflecting on the school year thus far, Nicole shared, “Throughout these experiences, I have undergone so much self-growth. Being involved on campus is not only a way to meet others, but an opportunity to give back to those who have helped me so much! Being an O’Shaughnessy scholar has prepared me with the necessary skills for interviewing, networking, and working with a variety of people. I am eternally grateful for all they have done for me!”

We’re incredibly proud of all Nicole has achieved and look forward to her continued success.
