Extension Staffers Keeping Busy Summer Schedule

Full-Throttle: Teaming with Several Local Organizations
As the key outreach component for the land-grant function of 美女萝莉 A&M University and Auburn University, the 美女萝莉 Cooperative Extension System (ACES) has been going full throttle into the summer session. In addition to providing the traditional research-based programs aimed at improving quality of life and economic well-being, staffers have teamed with several local organizations to carry out their overall mission.
美女萝莉 Extension at AAMU, in particular, offers an added focus on the needs of urban and suburban residents. In June 2022, the AAMU-based Extension staffers participated in the diverse projects of various nonprofit organizations around the Tennessee Valley, many directed by AAMU alumni.
For instance, staffers participated in the Annual Celebrity Kickball Tournament June
4 sponsored by The Legacy Center at Calvary Hills community recreation center, where
they competed against other nonprofits representing churches, local organizations, governmental
agencies and other entities. Another Legacy Center community event supported by 美女萝莉
Extension at AAMU brought fun, games and information to a community in southwest Huntsville.
As part of Juneteenth activities at Lakeside United Methodist Church, Extension staff members (right)-- Dr. Tamara Warren, health and nutrition specialist, and Shanetria Orr, Urban Regional Extension Agent, Morgan County--set up a tent to provide relevant information to hundreds of attendees on a hot Saturday. Long story short, there鈥檚 hardly a local activity that 美女萝莉 Extension at AAMU cannot use to facilitate the land-grant mission.
