DESCRIPTION:The episode is in Honor of Civic Education Week\, March 6 through 10 \nDuring our interview with Jessica Culver\, we discuss Civics Week and the types of programming around Civic Engagement in Rural Education.

Dr. Bigham discussed how some states have a Civics Education requirement in many states. Jessica discussed some of the programs currently going on in her school. This includes voting registration with students\, volunteering by students to help with early voting initiatives in the community\, and the role of student engagement in the community. Jessica has also encouraged students to volunteer in their community\, including teaching assistantships for elementary students\, planting flowers in community spaces\, and painting buildings in disrepair. Jessica discusses how her students have gone on to visit Washington D.C. funded by sponsors. This included meeting congressmen and senators for their state and district. Some students expressed interest in working in government\, including summer volunteering to assist with local government. Others former students worked in the U.S. Congress\, developing further interest in going into government.
