Recent Projects

Graduate students and faculty in the Communications and Agricultural Education Department conduct research projects that contribute to our knowledge of the awareness and perceptions surrounding the agriculture industry. The information they gather ultimately helps the agriculture industry improve the work being done and educates the world on the importance of the work in this critical field.
Recent graduate research project topics include:
- How commodity organizations can influence consumer change through celebrity and influencer endorsement
- What twenty years of data shows us about how teachers enter and leave the agricultural education profession in Kansas
- How Flint Hills cattle ranchers' decision-making practices impact their business development
-What beginning agricultural teachers experience in their first three years
