Rogers Explorers

Three Clinton County Middle School students have been selected to attend The Center for Rural Development’s 2015 Rogers Explorers youth leadership program.

Jackson Harlan, Isabella Moons, and Emma McClellan will join middle school students from across Southern and Eastern Kentucky to build their math, science, and technology skills.

One hundred and eighty students—the largest class ever—will converge on the campuses of six Kentucky colleges and universities this summer for the Rogers Explorers program.

“Rogers Explorers gives students a one-of-a-kind learning experience to explore different career opportunities and possible career paths in the fields of math, science, and technology,” said Delaney Stephens, community liaison and youth programs coordinator for The Center. “The program also encourages creative thinking and teamwork and builds leadership skills for the region’s next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs.”

Rogers Explorers is presented by The Center for Rural Development in partnership with Lindsey Wilson College, University of the Cumberlands, Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University, Asbury University, and the University of Pikeville.

The program is open to eighth-grade middle school students within The Center’s 45-country primary service area who have a strong interest in developing their skills in leadership, technology, math, science, and community service.
