IN THIS ISSUE... ...Word
from Associate Director - Extension and Applied Research WORD FROM ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR -
EXTENSION AND APPLIED RESEARCH How many times I have been asked what it is I teach? My relatives continue to ask even after I've been in administration for 12 years! While I don't actually stand in the classroom, I am proud to consider myself an educator first and foremost. Everyone in this organization can identify with being an educator as a part of your job. For those who are never standing in front of a group of students or any type of audience, think about all those times you are explaining and helping others to understand some piece of information important to them. You are an educator. K-State Research and Extension spans across those who focus on development of human capital through education in the classroom or in our more informal ways of Extension. We engage in research for the discovery of new knowledge and better understanding of the principles and processes to advance society. Research is vital to our ability to teach. Indeed, as a system, we have a tremendous interdependency for success in our Land Grant mission of improving the social and economic well being of the people of Kansas. The message to take home is in the importance of your work in helping all of us to fulfill this Land Grant mission. And, a thank you to all those ways you find to be a true educator in your daily work. --Daryl Buchholz dbuchhol@oznet.ksu.edu
