Kentucky State University (KYSU) emerged as a star at the 2024 National Urban Extension Leaders (NUEL) Conference in Nashville. A powerhouse team from KYSU's 4-H Youth Development, CRD, Horticulture, FCS and Urban AG departments presented groundbreaking work in urban programs, showcasing their unwavering commitment to fostering community development and sustainable urban living. KYSU's diverse presentations covered a wide range of topics, all reflecting their dedication to addressing urban challenges through research, education, and community engagement. Some of the highlights were "Camping Away, A Non-Traditional Approach for Summer Camp", "Urban-nizing It", "Forest to Freezer", and "Persimmons, The Reason to Eat Ripely in Season". The enthusiasm and admiration for KYSU's presentations were palpable. Their innovative approaches to urban extension work were recognized as exemplary models for other institutions to emulate. The conference's success solidified KYSU's leadership in urban extension and its remarkable ability to create impactful, community-driven solutions. As we eagerly anticipate KYSU's participation in next year's NUEL Conference, this year's presentations serve as a powerful testament to the transformative impact of dedicated individuals and institutions working together to address the unique challenges and opportunities faced by urban environments. KYSU's contributions stand as a shining example of what can be achieved through passion, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to making a positive difference.
