ITV Thesis Defense
  • A MS student in Aquaculture defended his thesis
    from the University of the Virgin Islands where
    he recently got a teaching job. Faculty and
    students at KSU asked him questions about his
    research project and its results as he
    successfully defended his thesis saving time,
    money
  • and energy.

ITV/Internet
  • A lecture to Russian Visitors to the
    Aquaculture Facilities in 2004 was captured on
    ITV and then uploaded to the KSU aquaculture
    website.
  • These foreign guests were amazed to
    synchronously see themselves on the site during
    the lecture. Colleagues in Russia were also able
    to view them.

Mobile Lab School VisitsSpecial Student in West
Liberty, KY
  • When Wes Stilwell, Environmental Education
    Teacher, visited West Liberty Elementary, one of
    his students was a visually impaired young girl.
    Under his guidance, she was able to touch her
    first toad, pet a young rabbit and hold her first
    earthworm. For her, on that day, all the wonders
    of nature opened up to her for the first time.
