On Dec. 2 and 3, students from Muskingum University participated in the 22nd annual Appalachian Teaching Project symposium. The conference, supported by the Appalachian Regional Commission and organized by the Center for Appalachian Studies and Services, is the capstone for the ATP program, which includes a for-credit fall course where students design and lead their own applied research projects to help address a community or economic need in their region.
