The Prairie View Learning Institute Food For Thought series attracts nationally renowned speakers who present information about current issues that affect our personal and professional lives.

This series was begun in 1969 on the Newton Prairie View campus. It has grown to serve five additional communities in central Kansas with events four times a year in each community to a total of nearly 4,000 people annually. The format of each program includes a catered meal followed by a one-hour presentation on such topics as stress, humor, overcoming adversity, improving communication and general motivational topics.

We believe that the educational nature of the Prairie View Learning Institute Food For Thought series has a beneficial community effect on improving quality of life, developing positive relationship skills and focusing on a healthy lifestyle.
