Cooperative Extension Faculty

Cooperative Extension Faculty are university-trained professionals who work in local communities to provide research-based knowledge and practical solutions in areas like agriculture, health, environment, and youth development. They collaborate with residents, businesses, and organizations to address local needs, promote best practices, and improve quality of life. These faculty members often hold academic appointments at universities but focus on outreach and education outside the classroom, translating complex research into useful information tailored for the community’s specific challenges and opportunities.
