IN THIS ISSUE... ...Word from the
Associate Director - Extension and Applied Research WORD FROM THE
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR - EXTENSION AND APPLIED RESEARCH
Now Collin's used that quote to say that he had truly grown interested in understanding the workings of the social sectors. But, for me, this rather simple quote spoke volumes. If I practiced this in meeting new acquaintances, in studying and understanding new concepts, in continuing to develop myself professionally, in working with partners, in understanding my family, I'd be a better teacher and a better person. --Daryl Buchholz dbuchhol@ksu.edu
