Extension Reconsidered - Arts, Humanities, and Design
2014
Extension Reconsidered is a national Imagining America initiative that invites citizens to imagine alternative futures for extension and outreach work across American higher education. Key to this initiative is considering how practices in arts, humanities, and design fields can inform new visions of what Cooperative Extension can. These fields share many things alike, including increasing exigencies to generate revenue, reach new audiences, and communicate ideas in new ways. These fields are all centered on our university’s civic mission by fostering attitudes of mind and capacities that will enable citizens to meet individual and civic problems with which they are confronted.
