Rural Advancement

Campbellsville University Rural Advancement partners with practitioners and stakeholders to grow vibrant rural communities by enacting bottom-up approaches to rural community and economic development. We create holistic initiatives that generate opportunities for rural communities to achieve their fullest potential. We offer continuing education programs and professional development services that foster ideas, innovation, and entrepreneurship through a systems-based and solutions-focused framework. We advocate for local, state, regional, and federal policies that create pathways for individuals to live the American Dream via upward socio-economic mobility and provide outreach to rural governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations.
