About the NDSU Extension Service
We are...
the NDSU Extension Service. We extend education to North
Dakota residents of all ages and walks of life. We're
at work in counties, at Research Extension Centers and
at the North Dakota State University campus.
As North Dakotans strive to improve their lives, we're
here to help. Our efforts have a special emphasis on
strengthening agriculture and developing the potential
of youth, adults and communities.
Our purpose...
is to create learning partnerships that help
youth and adults enhance their lives and communities.
To create learning partnerships, we develop
educational environments by collaborating with others.
Research-based and local knowledge provide the basis
for learning.
We help people explore solutions and discover
new opportunities. Identifying needs and potential
answers is key.
Our work benefits both youth and adults. A
significant audience for us is youth -- our future.
We strive to positively enhance what already
exists.
We provide opportunities that promote positive change
for people in their lives and communities,
recognizing that communities can be a group with a
common interest or a place.
Our vision...
is to be the premier lifelong education network that
helps North Dakotans improve their quality of life.
To achieve that vision, we strive to be innovative,
adaptable and willing to take risks to create new ways
of thinking, learning and addressing issues.
