The start of a new year is always a good time to ask the question, “How are we doing?” The "we" here is K-State Research and Extension. Officials with a statewide network that has provided unbiased, research-based information on issues important to Kansans for 108 years are reaching out to learn more about how the organization can best serve residents of the state.
K-State Research and Extension has released a public survey to ask current and prospective users about the information needs. Gregg Hadley, director of extension, said the brief survey will inform the organization’s efforts to provide education and information in every Kansas county.
“The services we provide are designed to improve Kansans’ lives and communities through education and engagement,” Hadley said. The results of this survey will help our dedicated extension specialists, agents and researchers provide information and assistance that best meet the needs of our K-State Research and Extension users.
K-State Research and Extension has offices in every Kansas county, including extension agents and others who provide information and programs specific to local needs.
Any Kansas resident over age 18 is eligible to take the survey in English https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ST2ZLM5 or Spanish http://www,surveymonkey.com/r/SRH9W59 New Boston Creative Group LLC of Manhattan is conducting the survey.
I hope many of you who are reading this will take a few minutes and go to the survey link and complete it. We want to hear from you! Questions regarding the survey can be directed to Jerry Grasso, director of communications solutions for K-State Research and Extension at 785-532-5806 or [email protected]
Retirement Celebration is set for Kansas Day
It seems fitting that as my Extension career winds down and I begin the next chapter that we have a celebration on Kansas Day. Plus, it works well for some of my family to join me for the day. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with so many people within our communities. You have made my Extension career satisfying and full of wonderful memories. The come and go celebration is set for Sunday, the 29th, from 1-3 PM at the Great Bend Activity Center, 2715 18th. I’m working on a photo display that dates back to the 90’s. If you come by the Activity Center next Sunday, you may even find a photo of yourself!
