If you lived for a significant portion of your life in a rural community in Riley or Pottawatomie County and are willing to be interviewed by a team of three to four K-State students about your experiences in those communities, we need your help! A KSU Professor, Matt Sanderson, PhD is looking for the opportunity to provide engaged learning for his Rural Sociology students. We want you to tell them of your experiences in those communities. 

The interview would be approximately one hour in length, and would be video or audio recorded. We will complete all interviews prior to mid-November, so the students have time to transcribe the interviews and work on the examination. As a way of giving back  to you, your family and community, the students will give you a copy of your oral history. 

We are looking for Riley or Pottawatomie County small town or rural residents because a portion of the project is to have someone who currently lives in that same community come to class to tell their perspective now. If you would like to participate, please contact Monte Spiller, Resident Services Leader, this week at 323-3801 or monte.spiller@meadowlark.org about your interest.
