UKNOW, the news service of the University of Kentucky, recently released an article, “Appalachian Science Initiative Shows Long-Term Results,” discussing the work of the Appalachian Rural Systemic Initiative (ARSI). The ARSI was a project of the National Science Foundation that sought to improve science and math education in the rural Appalachian counties of Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Much of the ARSI’s success is thanks to the work of Edvantia’s Keith Smith. Dr. Smith was involved in the initial development of the ARSI, served as its project director, and worked with some of those same communities as the project director for the Coalfield Rural Systemic Initiative.
