These changes will double the number of participants and give more students than ever before an opportunity to experience Rogers Explorers.

"This year we will be returning to the University of the Cumberlands as well as expanding our program to the campus of Lindsey Wilson College." Rogers Explorers is open to freshmen-to-be with an interest in developing skills in leadership, technology, math, science, entrepreneurship, and community service. Explorers will spend three days and two nights on a college campus participating in hands-on activities and working with professional college instructors.

The program is coordinated and supervised by The Center, a non-profit economic development organization based in Somerset, in partnership with the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg and its newest host site at Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia. "All activities are both educational and fun," Melton said. "Explorers are able to experience what it is like to be on a college campus, fine-tune leadership skills, and develop a network of friends and resources throughout our region." All lodging, meals, and program expenses (with the exception of transportation to and from the host site) are provided free of charge. The Center for Rural Development--the Center of Excellence for rural Kentucky and the nation--provides economic and community development programs to residents in a 42-county primary service area of Southern and Eastern Kentucky, and is home to several statewide and national technology-based programs.
