Leadership Challenge Event

The Leadership Challenge Event™ (LCE™) is hosted annually by the Washburn University Leadership Institute and was held on April 9-10. It is a unique inter-scholastic and inter-collegiate leadership competition which enables high school and college students an opportunity to participate in an organized competition that simulates real-life experiences. Students address a variety of problems and situations where the outcome of the simulation is dependent on the leadership decisions made throughout the course of the competition. Student teams must fulfill the challenges and overcome the obstacles placed before them in a manner that demonstrates exemplary leadership knowledge and execution. This year’s scenario required students to confront the issues of poverty, crime, and unemployment in the fictitious town of Metropolis.

Pictured are this year’s LCE™ participants shown with their project: Fred Schuler, Eric Ebert, Emily Woodcock, Ashley Broxterman, and Taylor Brecheisen.

Is Your Class Having A Reunion?

     If your class year ends with a 5 or a 0,  your class should have reunion plans under way.   If not,  the time is short.  Most classes have them at the same time as the Tall Corn Festival which will be the first weekend in August.
     Send your class reunion plans to frank.ruff@juno.com and I will include them on this web site.

Jason Logan At Butler CCC

From the Butler Co. Comm. College Facebook page:

      Hailing from Rossville, Kansas is our featured spotlight for today. Jason Logan grew up on his family’s commercial cow/calf operation where he actively participated in the day-to-day activities of maintaining the operation. During his tenure in the 4-H program J-Lo was an experienced showman exhibiting all four species but it’s not surprising his passion lied in showing cattle. Like many other young livestock enthusiasts, Jason began judging through his county 4-H program throughout grade school prior to Butler. Jason’s academic perfection in high school led him to numerous honors including being the President of the National Honors Society and leadership roles within his FFA Chapter.
       He plans to attend Kansas State in the fall to pursue a degree in Agricultural Technology Management with a minor in Animal Science and Agronomy. During his judging career here at Butler, Jason will value the memories made at the National Western, his favorite contest. “The miles and memories we had on the road traveling and practicing for the next big contest…” are what he will truly miss and he takes pride in being a member of the BuCo Family. To next year’s Sophomores, “Cherish every moment that you have together. You are an extremely talented team that will see your share of success, but the banners and plaques fade with time but the people you meet along the way will last a lifetime.”
      The Butler Family will miss you next year J-Lo, good luck in your future successes!
