PROJECT

Graduate Students in Extension

DESCRIPTION

As the third cohort of the Graduate Students in Extension (GSE) program, Reid, Alana and Laura will prepare a showcase for students interested in careers in Cooperative Extension. Their goals are to improve graduate student preparedness for extension, outreach and applied research and to provide opportunities for applicants to the GSE program.

As the GSE program is in the last year of its three-year pilot, this cohort of students will conduct an assessment to document best practices and lessons learned, in addition to developing a publication, policy recommendations and a complementary presentation. The deliverable materials will relay the outcomes and accomplishments of the GSE program and make a case for its continuation and expansion.
