Innovative Programming

We attended a Kansas State University football game ag day tailgate where we engaged students in a hands-on activity.

We added subscribers to our educator newsletter through QR codes at events and on marketing materials, social media, and newsletter forwarding.

Major Program Impacts or Outcomes

We created teacher interest in using agriculture in their classrooms by providing free classroom kits that met their needs. Our newsletter subscriptions grew with this increase to help us reach even more teachers each month.

Program Leader Biosketch

Nancy joined KFAC in June of 2020 after nearly 16 years at Cloud County Community College (CCCC), where she served in teaching and administrative roles. She is currently a peer reviewer for the Higher Learning Commission, an accreditor for post-secondary educational institutions in the North Central region of the United States. She teaches online graduate leadership studies for Fort Hay State University, where she earned her Educational Specialist (Ed.S) degree in Educational Leadership and Administration. Not only does her professional background in academia closely coincide with KFAC's mission, but she also has personal industry experience. She lives on a ranch near Belleville, Kansas, and has been actively involved in agriculture throughout her life.
