- Curriculum Review & Development: The curriculum committee of KSU’s College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources has held a series of discussions about strengthening the Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources program and curricula.
- Summer Bridge Program: One goal of the project is to attract high school students to KSU’s Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources undergraduate program. A major part of this particular initiative is the new “Summer Bridge” program.
- Facilities & Laboratories: Kentucky State University (KSU) has made a long-term, ongoing investment in facilities and land to support education and research efforts to meet the needs of students.
- Student Scholars: A goal of the environmental education program is to promote experiential learning, especially among a small group of “student scholars.”
- Student Recruitment & Advising: A primary focus of this project is to attract more students to the field of environmental science through very intentional recruitment, retention and summer-bridge programs. The project will work closely with both the private sector and with agricultural and science teachers and counselors in high schools across Kentucky.
- Resources & Progress Reports: The major result of this project will be a strengthened Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources undergraduate program with an enhanced and science-based Environmental Science Option curricula and experiential learning activities.
