CU students address region's top student-retention issues By Sharon Dodson, The Center for Rural Development Students from Campbellsville University were among those from 14 Kentucky colleges and universities serving The Center for Rural Development's 42-county primary service area and Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, TN, to come together at a regional summit on Friday, September 18, for a candid discussion on issues contributing to the out-migration of many of the region's best and brightest students. Dressed in their school colors, Campbellsville University students Leah Kerr, Jeffery Perkins, and Lauren Toadvine met at The Center's headquarters in Somerset to provide input on how to keep more future leaders in Southern and Eastern Kentucky. The keynote speaker at the event was U.S. Congressman "Hal" Rogers. The event, entitled "Project IDEAS" (Insight and Dialogue Engaging Appalachian Students), was funded by the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). "We must work to assure that young adults have opportunities to receive a quality education near their homes," Dr. Jo Marshall, co-chair of the The Center's Higher Education Consortium and president of Somerset Community College, added. "As we improve the opportunities for educational accomplishments for them, we improve the chance that they will spend their adult years here." Former University of Kentucky basketball player J.P. Blevins also attended the event and spoke to students about how important it is for them to have goals, dreams, and a vision for the future. Blevins, from rural Metcalfe County, realized his childhood dream in 1998 when he earned a spot on the University of Kentucky Wildcats basketball team and played four years under former head coach Orlando "Tubby" Smith. Attending the summit were representatives from Big Sandy Community and Technical College, University of Louisville, Somerset Community College, Alice Lloyd College, University of the Cumberlands, Campbellsville University, Morehead State University, Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College, Lindsey Wilson College, Eastern Kentucky University, Union College, Pikeville College, Lincoln Memorial University, Hazard Community and Technical College, and Berea College.
