About the Arthur Capper Cooperative Center

The Arthur Capper Cooperative Center (ACCC) was established on June 11, 1984 by an agreement between Kansas State University's Department of Agricultural Economics and the Kansas Cooperative Council. Our purpose is to determine, develop and deliver research and education for the cooperative community.The Center's primary goal is to enhance society's understanding of the nature and role of cooperatives. We strive to develop and deliver innovative and integrated research and educational programs that are of direct interest to cooperatives. To do so, we encourage and need an open dialogue between Kansas State University, cooperative leaders in Kansas and other university and industry contacts across the United States.
