Dr. Rager's current research is centered on self-directed learning. Her study of the independent learning experiences of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer has resulted in five publications in leading adult education journals, including the highly competitive Adult and Higher Education Quarterly, Educational Researcher and the International Journal of Lifelong Education. In nominating Dr. Rager for this award, one colleague succinctly noted that she was "the definition of the emergent scholar" and that her research "is making an impact nationally."

The Kansas State University Alumni Fellows Program, sponsored by the Deans' Council, the President's Office and the Alumni Association, recognizes alumni who have distinguished themselves in their careers. Since 1983, the program has brought successful alumni to campus to meet with students and faculty and share their expertise in the classroom and at informal settings. Fellows are chosen to return as distinguished guests and as mentors, friends and counselors. They are honored in recognition of the ultimate measure of a university - not curricula, facilities or programs, but the quality of its alumni.
