Venue description

This is a multidisciplinary social science department that maintains active research, instruction, and extension programs on communities, youth and families, food systems, the environment, leadership, education, and communications. Within each of these areas, the faculty strive to carry out the three-fold mission of the College of Agriculture at the University of Kentucky: to conduct basic and applied research in the agricultural and social sciences; to extend the knowledge of that research base in service to the needs of the citizens and communities of the Commonwealth; and to teach today's students the skills they will need to be tomorrow's educators, communicators, and leaders. They strengthen the leadership capacities of individuals and communities to act on their shared visions and challenges. They accomplish this by integrating communication, community development, education, leadership, and rural sociology within rural, agricultural and global contexts.
