Students Today

The Burrier Child Development Center, which is housed in the Department of Applied Human Sciences, is an important part of Eastern Kentucky University and the College of Health Sciences. We serve families of 3- and 4-year-olds by providing full-day and half-day childcare. Within our unique structure, we have three distinct missions: (1) to provide high-quality service to children, families, and community; (2) to demonstrate a program of high-quality early childhood education; and (3) to participate in the training of university students. We wanted to extend an opportunity out to members of our EKU student parents who may need childcare for their 3- or 4-year-old children this school year. We accept CCAMPIS vouchers and CCAP. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, or would like to schedule a tour!

Free QPR (Question, Persuade and Refer) gatekeeper training for suicide prevention for faculty, staff, and students will be offered via the meeting platform, Zoom. As a QPR-trained gatekeeper, you will learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to help someone find the help they may need. Help save the life of a friend, colleague, or family member in need. To register e-mail Dr. Melissa Bartsch, melissa.bartsch@eku.edu. This workshop is limited to 12 participants.
