KELP Buzz
In Hutchinson, KELP hosted its fourth session of the year where students toured the new water treatment facilities, visited numerous sites along the Cheney Watershed with tour guides from Cheney Lake Watershed, heard other speakers, and participated in leadership development activities. In October, Class 12 will
continue to their fifth session in Manhattan during the Water and Future of Kansas Conference.
It's about that time again: Applications for the class of 2013 are available. If you or someone you know is interested in learning about environmentalism and leadership in a variety of different ways, we encourage you to
apply! Details are available on our "
Get Involved" page. Feel free to email KELP Coordinator Brandi Nelson with any questions, nelsonbm@ksu.edu.
