Highlights Detach

MSU Extension for the 21st century will move Michigan forward

MSU Extension has conducted a vigorous internal discussion focused on resculpting itself into a 21st-century organization, while continuing its dedication to furthering the quality of life and prosperity of Michigan citizens. The program now will carry that conversation to its external stakeholders, starting with partners in state government.

“The Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station and Michigan State University Cooperative Extension have historically provided relevant, responsive services that were tailored to our rural communities," said Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm. "As Michigan moves from rust to green, these programs will be focused on enhancing our local communities’ efforts to collaborate and innovate in the new clean energy economy. I support continued funding for this restructuring, with its emphasis on growing Michigan's new green economy.”  Read the entire announcement on the MSU News site.
