Rogers ended up not addressing one specific class, but rather a combination of students from Young Democrats and College Republicans, as well as international students. According to Gould, the presentation was a different opportunity for the students.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s really important to have different learning experiences,\u201d he said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Rogers told his audience, he first became involved with the state government as a senator. Prior to that, he served on the Wichita school board for 16 years.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI had a state senator the last year I was a school board member that never wanted to talk about education. They would not ever address it,\u201d Rogers said. \u201cSo I ran and won, and then sat in the back row of the senate next to then-Sen. Kelly.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rogers then served two years as Lieutenant Governor for Gov. Kelly, before being moved to State Treasurer. He explained some of his work includes returning money from unclaimed property and estimating the cost to implement new legislation.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have to go in and estimate what the cost of the staff is going to be,\u201d Rogers said. \u201cThe good thing about that is it can provide the legislature with some solid information.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rogers also talked about the importance of public service jobs.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think public service is a very honorable thing. A lot of times people complain about state employees. What I\u2019ve found is our state employees in my agency work really, really hard. They probably don\u2019t get paid what they’re worth. They could probably go elsewhere and make more but they do it for public service,\u201d he said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, Gould thought that the presentation was very beneficial for the students.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a different kind of learning experience,\u201d Gould said. \u201cYou learn things from different learning environments, and this one, you get a chance to actually talk to the people who do the governing and impact your life in various ways. It gives students a chance to become much more free with their questions and the information they\u2019re seeking, so it\u2019s not just a lecture in a classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
