Erin Burris will join Rogers Scholars program at The Center Adair County High School student will be one of 60 high school juniors at intensive one-week summer session of Rogers Scholars at Center for Rural Development in Somerset, KY By Sharon Dodson, The Center for Rural Development Past participants have described Rogers Scholars as an "experience of a lifetime." Adair County's Erin Burris will get the chance this summer to have that experience herself and become part of a program that's providing leadership and scholarship opportunities to the region's future leaders. Burris, a 16-year-old student at Adair County High School, will join 60 rising high school juniors from across Southern and Eastern Kentucky for an intensive one-week summer session of Rogers Scholars. The program will be held at The Center for Rural Development in Somerset, KY, host site and program sponsor. Rogers Scholars, named after U.S. Congressman Harold "Hal" Rogers, (KY-05), emphasizes the development of technological skills and builds in participants a sense of leadership, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a commitment to rural Kentucky. Burris said she plans to use her experience in Rogers Scholars to garner ideas that she can bring home to Adair County for future community service projects. "If I achieve the goals I set for myself, my home community is going to reap the benefits as well, she said. Burris said she strives to be a role model for other teens by volunteering with a number of organizations, including the Ronald McDonald House, a nursing home, and a local food bank. She is a member of National Honor Society, Beta Club, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes."The Center is very excited about the Rogers Scholars program this summer," Jessica Melton, associate director of education and training, said. "We received a large number of applications again this year, and we look forward to meeting all the students who were selected to participate. This story was posted on 2009-05-08 14:37:37
