Kentucky University Partnership for Environmental Education

Welcome to the College of Education and Human Service's
Center for Environmental Education at Northern Kentucky University.

The Center for Environmental Education at NKU was established in August, 2002 with the financial support of the United States Department of Education, through the spearheading efforts of
Congressman Ed Whitfield and Senator Jim Bunning. These funds are distributed to each of the state university Centers for EE through Murray State University.

Additional financial support has since been provided through interest generated from the PRIDE fund
(HB 174). The PRIDE fund was established by vote of the Kentucky General Assembly in the 2000 regular session. The interest from the PRIDE fund is distributed through the Kentucky Environmental Education Council to the Centers for Environmental Education at each of the 8 state universities in Kentucky.

Be sure to check out all the new programs and their deadlines!
