The Dole Institute series, "Obstacles and Opportunities: Tackling Sustainability in Kansas," will be held Tuesdays this spring at the Dole Institute. This four-part series will be moderated by our Spring 2024 Dole Fellow, Karen Willey.

Some of our most refreshing events are weekly discussion groups at the Dole Institute. Hosted by Dole Fellows, each weekly discussion focuses on a specific topic or issue and features an expert in that field.

[Kansas Rural Center @KSRuralCenter]

The topics and conversations will focus on issues relevant to farmers, producers, community gardens, farmer's markets, school dining services, and nonprofit organizations. But anyone interested is invited to join the discussion! Register: https://t.co/gQWsuEozKu
