Understanding Extension and land-grant history has been identified as an important topic in various studies of Extension professional competencies, including the 4-H Professional Research, Knowledge, and Competencies Study (Stone & Rennekamp, 2004). Defining Moments: Review of History of Extension and the Land-Grant University System Facilitation Guide is a new publication suitable for a number of uses such as:
- Educating new Extension employees, volunteers, local government officials, and donors
- Orienting citizens serving on Extension advisory councils
- Sharing information with participants in Extension leadership programs
Defining Moments: Review of History of Extension and the Land-Grant University System Facilitation Guide is only available online.
For the next few weeks, we will share a question in IDEAS.
Test your knowledge and look for the answer in future issues of IDEAS.
