University’s Paducah Tour Sets Stage for Collaboration to Further EM Mission

The university's role in the project will focus on fostering community engagement and developing educational programs.

"The collaborative work made possible by this grant allows us to learn from the community, build partnerships and engage in research that will make a meaningful difference in workforce development and site repurposing efforts," said Renee Fister, the university's associate provost. "We are committed to ensuring that our work benefits the entire region, particularly in the areas of education and economic development."

The grant supports a range of activities, aligning with key aspects of the cleanup program's mission at the site, including science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) initiatives in local high schools, public outreach programs and creative project opportunities for faculty and student research.
