Stacy Harris joins Engineering Extension's Kansas Energy Program
Stacy Harris is the newest member of Engineering Extension's Kansas Energy Program, or KEP.
Harris will primarily assist the Kansas Energy Program with its energy education programs for the general public and for Kansas K-12 schools. Since its inception in 2016, the program has conducted at least 343 energy education events for more than 21,000 individuals.
"With its recent success in other grant proposals, KEP is striving to keep up its energy education to schools, while also meeting other program requirements", said Ryan Hamel, energy specialist. "Having Harris on board with her vast teaching experience and energetic personality brings much needed relief to the rest of the team. It's a pleasure to have her here!"
Harris earned a bachelor's degree in elementary education from Kansas State University and a master's degree in curriculum and instruction from the University of Nebraska.
Established in 2016 through a contract with the Kansas Corporation Commission, the Kansas Energy Program provides energy education, energy assessments and grant assistance to rural small businesses and agricultural producers, and technical assistance for municipalities implementing energy efficiency projects through the Kansas Facility Conservation Improvement Program.
