Land Grant Informatics eXtension Fellowship Presentation

Over the last 9 months with support from the eXtension Foundation and Cornell University Library, Jeff Piestrak from the Albert R. Mann Library has been investigating how Land Grant institutions and personnel (including Cooperative Extension) might more effectively and collectively link and leverage digital resources and expertise in support of their research, learning and outreach activities, and Land Grant mission. In particular, what social and technical capabilities might contribute to greater learning, innovation and impact across disciplinary, institutional and geographic boundaries in support of healthy local and regional food systems.

Complementing blog posts on the eXtension site (https://extension.org/tag/solving-for-pattern/) Jeff will share insights gained through this research here, including several specific recommendations for implementation. There will be time for Q&A at the end, and the webinar will be recorded and made available (along with the fellowship final report) via the eXtension.org site.

About the Extension Foundation

The Extension Foundation was formed in 2006 by Extension Directors and Administrators. Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension through liaison roles and a formal plan of work with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods and models for implementing programs. The Foundation provides professional development to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. In 2020 and 2021, the Extension Foundation has awarded 85% of its direct funding back to the Cooperative Extension System, 100% of funds are used to support Cooperative Extension initiatives.
