" 2024 Honoring Black Excellence"

Huge Congratulations to Mr. Secoy Hodges

Secoy, a proud native of Springfield, holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication Studies with a minor in Business from Missouri State University. Throughout his academic journey, he showcased his top strengths: leadership, communication, patience, accountability, and listening, by taking on various leadership roles across campus. Secoy's dedication to education and community service is evident through his role as a state ambassador for the Missouri Department of Higher Education.

As an active member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, and former President of the Springfield chapter of the Student African American Brotherhood (SAAB): Brother 2 Brother, he has consistently demonstrated his commitment to uplifting others. In addition to his academic and leadership endeavors, Secoy is a professional speaker through his business, The Jewels of Success. His contributions have been recognized with a lifetime membership award from the Boys and Girls Club of America, and he has received endorsements from United Way. Secoy also served as the Ambassador of Multicultural Resource Services at Missouri State University. His talents extend beyond academia; he is a paid actor featured in commercials for Circle K, O’Reilly Auto Parts, and Hurts Donuts.

Furthermore, he is a seasoned panelist, providing diversity training for the Springfield Police Department.

Secoy offers invaluable advice to younger students: “Do not be afraid to fail. Get involved as soon as you can and fail as soon as possible. There is no growth without feeling uncomfortable.”

Congratulations Secoy Hodges
