KSU'S PROGRAM OF DISTINCTION |
| _NEWS____________________________________________________ |
Many Students Fish for the First Time with KSU Staff & Student Help
|
William Bean, KSU Aquaculture's K-12 Educator & Recruiter, helped kids get their lines baited and in the water.
Camp Crooked Creek, 30 minutes south of Louisville, is an oasis for urban children who aren't able to enjoy the outoors frequently. Owned by the Lincoln Heritage Council, it is part of the 1,000- acre Old Kentucky Home Scout Reservation. Lake John Barr provides boat rides and fishing for boys and girls. On this day, cloudy skies didn't keep these kids from grabbing poles, rods and reels and heading for the water. Some caught fish. Some didn't. It was soon time for lunch. Everybody had fun.

Three Aquaculture Online Courses
Can Help You Save on Gas
The cost of fuel has become another consideration
for students seeking degrees or working on
professional development programs.
A primary convenience of online (Internet) courses
has always been the time saved in not having to
drive to a campus location. Now, the cost of fuel
is adding to the pain for traditional students.

KSU Aquaculture's courses can assist you.
