Lindsey Wilson Education University Program Director Jennifer Antoniotti-Neal '98. "The fact that we've had a 100% pass rate for the last two years (on the Praxis II and Principles of Learning and Teaching examinations) is a testament to the outstanding education program Lindsey Wilson offers students, and it also explains why our education graduates are sought after by so many school districts."

A small harvest of pawpaws, gifted from a friend. These "Kentucky Bananas" seem a little smaller than the ones that I remember growing behind Audrey Waggener's house atop Jamestown Hill in the late 1970s, but it's possible that those trees, like her abundant tomato plants, just understood what was expected of them and produced accordingly.
Kentucky State University (KSU) has the only full-time pawpaw research program in the world; it was started in 1990 with the aim of developing pawpaw as a new tree-fruit crop for Kentucky. Pawpaw is the largest edible native fruit in North America and has very few diseases compared to other orchard crops. (Wikipedia). Comments | Permalink Older Photos
