CECD Presents Rural Culture and Community Class

K-State Engagement E-News, July 2007 (PDF)

CECD partnered with the Huck Boyd Institute and Kansas Pride to present a class in Understanding Rural Communities to students in the College of Veterinary Medicine. Five Vet Med students were selected to participate in this new educational program in which students agree to practice in rural Kansas once they graduate. These students go through a specialized training program to prepare them for this career move.

CECD, Huck Boyd and Kansas Pride brought together rural sociologists, extension specialists, rural social service providers, rural community leaders, farm families, and rural advocate agencies to talk about life and work in rural Kansas.
