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.

The College of Design, Construction and Planning is rapidly becoming a leader in the area of sea level rise and climate change adaptation planning.
Building on existing and previous UF research, three sea level rise adaptation planning projects led by DCP faculty recently received funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the Florida and Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant programs.
Research on global systems suggests that coastal communities and regions are becoming increasingly vulnerable to sea level rise and climate change. As a result, researchers and practitioners are developing processes, tools and strategies for adapting to future impacts.
Zhong-Ren Peng, professor of urban and regional planning is directing the first project, titled “Development of Sea Level Rise Adaptation Planning Procedures and Tools Using NOAA Sea Level Rise Impacts Viewer.” The project will improve the “Viewer” by incorporating more data and functions as a decision support tool to help local planners better understand regional vulnerability and prioritize adaptation options. The project team will partner with the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council in Florida.

Artists in Residence work annually with over 100 volunteers from the Gainesville community and the University of Florida to engage patients, families and staff in creative disciplines of dance, writing, music, visual and contemplative arts.
The dynamic of patient and artist working together fosters open communication, avenues for expression, opportunities to deal with fear, and strengthens the patient’s sense of control during times of crisis. This collaboration serves two purposes: allows patients and families to participate in activities that enhance the hospital experience and to display their work in order to personalize the physical setting and make it more inspiring.
