What Will I Do as an Extension Specialist?
Area and state Extension specialists develop educational
programming based on North Dakotans' needs. They may
deliver the education themselves or train Extension
agents to deliver it. They write publications, Web pages,
news releases, curriculum and other information for
target audiences.
Specialists focus on specific subject matter. They
work with NDSU researchers, faculty at other universities,
professionals in public and private organizations, and
others to keep up on the latest information and develop
partnerships.
Extension specialists evaluate educational programming
and report the results.

"Since
I grew up on a ranch, the interactions I have
with people involved in the beef cattle industry
are very rewarding and enjoyable. It allows me
to use my talents and abilities to help people
solve real-world problems. Each day is different,
with a different set of challenges and opportunities,
and a different set of questions to help people
solve."
