Award funds multifaceted South African experience

Letitia Johnson traveled to South Africa to further MU Extension?셲 relationship with the University of Western Cape. Professional and program development were the goals, cultural lessons were a bonus.

MU Extension's distinct land-grant mission is to improve lives, communities and economies by producing relevant, reliable and responsive educational strategies that enhance access to the resources and research of the University of Missouri. For the past 100 years, we have fulfilled that mission in countless ways.

MU Extension provides relevant youth education. In 2012, MU Extension engaged more than 282,000 young Missourians in skill-building activities and programs through 4-H, including Robotics Camp, where they compete to build the best robot while learning how robotics and mapping technologies improve agriculture.

MU Extension trains reliable community leaders. In 2012, MU Extension Master Gardeners made an estimated $2.86 million impact on their communities through their more than 145,000 volunteer hours.

MU Extension quickly responds to disasters. In 2011, MU Extension responded proactively to the Joplin tornado by establishing, in partnership with others, an emergency Business Recovery Center that served more than 500 Joplin business owners.

We invite you to be a part of our relevant, reliable and responsive work. When you give to MU Extension, you help improve lives, communities and economies throughout the state. For more information on the impact of MU Extension on the lives of Missourians, see our annual report.
