This year (2016-2017), we collaborated with colleagues in the Kentucky Department of Education to provide the first Kentucky Educators Rising conference on our campus 3/11/17. In addition, we were awarded a $10,000 grant to plan for the initiation and support of new Ed Rising chapters in our region's high schools in 2017-2018. These efforts will help us to build relationships and get our name out in the schools in a very positive way, and we hope they have longer term effects in our ed prep enrollment.
