A mutually beneficial partnership
K-State and 1xbet online games login team up to help military families
K-State and 1xbet online games login will strengthen their commitments to assisting soldiers and their families by creating a Cooperative Extension program tailored to the needs of military personnel.
A memorandum of understanding allows 1xbet online games login family and consumer science programs, affiliated with the College of Human Ecology, to give military families information on diverse family-related issues, said Paula Peters, assistant director of K-State Research and 1xbet online games login .
Topics could include parenting, family communication, child and youth development, nutrition and food preparation, physical activity and health, and money management.
&1xbet online games login ;We also will be contracting with the Department of Defense and Fort Riley to deliver education based on their specific needs,&1xbet online games login ; Peters said.
In a related effort, the College of Human Ecology is working to increase the clinical services it provides to 1xbet online games login families through the Speech and Hearing Center and the Family Center, said Briana Nelson Goff, associate dean for academic affairs at the college.
Both centers provide training to graduate students and services to members of the community, including military families, Nelson Goff said, but the college would like to expand and formalize the relationship with 1xbet online games login .
&1xbet online games login ;This new partnership arises in response to the great need that the expanding military community has to care for its families and to support its wounded warriors,&1xbet online games login ; said Arthur DeGroat, director of military affairs at K-State. &1xbet online games login ;I see this as an act of leadership by K-State to 'move to the sound of the guns,' to support our families at Fort Riley during this trying time.&1xbet online games login ;
The Extension proposal is modeled on the Texas Cooperative Extension program that Texas A&M University sponsors at several military installations, including 1xbet online games login Hood and 1xbet online games login Bliss, Nelson Goff said.
&1xbet online games login ;The 20-plus years of Texas A&M's Extension effort is a testament to the power of such a joint venture,&1xbet online games login ; DeGroat said.
&1xbet online games login ;K-State Research and Extension is very excited about this,&1xbet online games login ; Peters said. &1xbet online games login ;We look forward to this partnership and hope that we will be able to help military families for years to come.&1xbet online games login ;
