2002 K-STATE RESEARCH AND EXTENSION
INTERN PROGRAM
All county/district offices should have received one copy of the
information about the 2002 K-State Research and Extension Intern
program.
Brief proposals outlining the county's
plan for the intern are due to Area Directors and the Extension
Operations Office by February 22.
The intern program is one of the primary
recruiting tools for extension agent positions. Of the 63 students who
have served as interns since 1990, 22 are currently employed by K-State
Research and Extension or have been employed at some time since they
completed their internship.
Hosting an intern adds new enthusiasm and
a fresh perspective to an office, in addition to assisting the agents
with the implementation of their educational programming. Providing an
intern with a successful experience does require an additional
commitment of staff time, so preference is given to offices that are
fully staffed with their allocation of agents.
For questions, contact Area Directors or
Stacey Warner at 785-532-5790. --Stacey M. Warner swarner@oznet.ksu.edu

ANOTHER UPDATE ON THE UNITED
ASSOCIATION MEETING: COMING TOGETHER FOR KANSAS FAMILIES
We received word that the Focus on Fatherhood workshop taught by James
Jordan and listed in your registration material as Part I and Part II
will not be taught in two parts. He will be offering the same Focus on
Fatherhood workshop two times on March 7. His CarTeens workshop will
also be a single course offered twice on March 8 rather than a two part
course as listed in the registration material. Please note this change
before marking your course selections on your registration form!
