UC Cooperative Extension: 100 Years and Counting!
May 2014 marked the 100th anniversary of the Smith-Lever Act, the legislation that created Cooperative Extension, a nationwide system of community-based education, established as part of each state’s land grant university. In recognition, we invite you to watch our Celebration Video!
