MANKATO (MINN.) — The Rasmussen College Mankato campus will host an event to allow Early Childhood Education professionals to work with Rasmussen College faculty and staff to learn about and apply Early Childhood Education concepts while gaining in-service hours. The event will take place on Saturday, February 21st, 2009 from 8:45 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
