Registration is open for the 2024 Rural Renewal Symposium at Lake Murray Lodge Oct. 8 to10, in Ardmore, Oklahoma.
Hosted by Oklahoma State University’s Rural Renewal Initiative, the annual event raises awareness and promotes research to solve the challenges of today’s rural communities. Students, faculty, community members, nonprofit organizations, corporations, government leaders and tribal leaders nationwide are invited to learn about the latest trends and strategies for rural renewal.
The symposium will feature guest speakers, research presentations, panel discussions and networking opportunities. The symposium will also highlight the final research results of the 16 2024 Rural Scholars. These students lived and worked in rural Oklahoma communities for 10 weeks over the summer, conducting research and community service projects.
Conclusions from their summer research will be presented at the poster session, and one outstanding scholar will be awarded the Weckler Prize.
Registration details and more information about the Rural Renewal Symposium are available at https://ruralrenewal.okstate.edu/symposium.html. To learn more, contact Linnea Harvey, Rural Renewal Initiative coordinator, at [email protected].
