Ryan Moon is a junior cell and molecular biology student at Missouri State University. Moon is from Springfield, Missouri, and attended Glendale High School.

His favorite course has been fundamentals of physiology.

“We got the opportunity to learn more about how the human body functions at the molecular level,” Moon said.

“I was able to build on the knowledge of structures that I previously learned in anatomy and build on how different cells interact with one another.”

For Moon, the best part of being a Bear is the close-knit community.

“I have met many friends and mentors through joining different organizations who have supported me throughout college,” he said.

After graduation, Moon plans to attend graduate school.
