High school youth are invited to apply for the K-State Animal Science Leadership Academy hosted by the Kansas State University Department of Animal Sciences and Industry, and sponsored by the Livestock and Meat Industry Council (LMIC) Inc. The goal of this academy will be to further develop young leaders within the livestock industry and prepare them for a successful future in this field.
The four-day session will focus on increasing knowledge of Kansas’ diverse livestock industry, as well as building participant’s leadership skills. Twenty high school students will be selected to participate based upon educational, community, and agricultural involvement, as reflected through an application process.
The 2021 academy will feature a hybrid format. Students will participate in virtual tours and workshops throughout the week, culminating in an on-campus experience at the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry at K-State on Friday, June 18th. No housing will be provided in 2021, and transportation to and from the event will be the responsibility of the participant.
