Extension Field Specialists

Our Extension field specialists are located throughout the state. Each field specialist has a particular area of expertise and provides overall leadership for developing and implementing a comprehensive and balanced teaching and applied research program to address statewide issues.

In addition, the field specialists each:

  • Expand existing partnerships

  • Develop new connections

  • Foster collaboration

Unlike state specialists, field specialists do not have campus-based faculty responsibilities such as resident instruction and student advising; and they are 100 percent Extension-funded. Their specific programmatic efforts are typically supported in some way with external funding.
