Extension and Outreach

Research results are most valuable when they can be applied in the field to generate change. We and our dedicated Extension Staff are committed to making a public impact through community engagement and Extension efforts. We develop and deliver high quality, regionally and nationally-recognized research-based programs to meet current and emerging needs of industry and communities. To best serve our industrial and community audiences in Minnesota and beyond, we strive to fulfill the following key goals:

• Provide leadership to Extension education and directly-related applied research activities across the UMN Extension system and facilitate/lead educational partnerships with other states to leverage resources
• Develop and use innovative education strategies, technologies, and partnerships with faculty in BBE, CFANS, IT, AHC and beyond to create and deliver high quality educational offerings
