About
Mission/Strategic Plan
Through the Agricultural Experiment Station and the Cooperative Extension Service, the Division of Agriculture conducts research and extension work within the nation’s historic land grant education system.
We are currently in the process of creating an updated strategic plan to take us into the future. This process includes a series of listening sessions in October and November.
As we develop the Division’s next five-year strategic plan, we are inviting interested stakeholders to assist us in identifying key issues and opportunities related to our mission by participating in stakeholder listening sessions.
If you would like to participate, we ask that you pre-register to ensure that we have adequate seating and facilitators for each session.
Virtual Listening Session
During this Zoom meeting, participants will identify and prioritize key issues and opportunities to inform Research and Extension programs to strengthen agriculture, communities and families.
- Tuesday, October 31, 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
