Last year’s course was just amazing. Looking “Forward” to another semester of informative and stimulating speakers and discussions. Thank you.
This was a remarkable lecture weaving together the complex system of event, values, people . A note UW was ahead of the Federal Funding for “Agricultural ” Extension. UW” colle of Agriculture had Its first “County” agent in 1912 in Oneida County. Gwen Drury’ Venn diagram of influences shaping the WI Idea could be used to look at the development of what is now Uw/Extension, Cooperative Extension.
