Fort Scott Community College…..

Join Dr. Jason Kegler for an open conversation!

Dr. Jason Kegler would like to invite members of Bourbon County, the surrounding communities, and alumni to a series of conversations regarding the college and its impact on our community.

The purpose of the conversation series is to engage the community on matters related to the college. Dr. Kegler will be discussing the college’s mission and vision, image, identity, economic impact, and other topics of interest. His plan is for these conversations to occur monthly through April. Dr. Kegler sees this as an opportunity for him to gain vital feedback from the people they serve related to this community’s college.
