Center for Environmental Education
Welcome to the Center for Environmental Education at Northern Kentucky University!
The Center for Environmental Education at Northern Kentucky University 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 were distributed to each of the state university Centers for Environmental Education 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! Look for more workshops to resume in the fall 2009 semester.
