Mena Xandria Ruiz Sanders, daughter of Cullen and Corina Sanders, graduated Summa Cum Laude on May 10, 2025, from Southwestern Oklahoma State University, with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Minor in Human Resource Management.
Mena plans to further her academic studies by pursuing a Master of Arts in Industrial-Organizational Psychology at the University of Tulsa, starting in the Summer of 2025.
