Presentation of Analysis of the Value
of Family and Consumer Sciences Extension in the North Central Region
|
 Please join NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy and our REE,
APLU, Board on Human Sciences, ECOP, and CARET colleagues for a
presentation by the North Central Cooperative Extension Association
(NCCEA) on a new study highlighting the importance of Family and
Consumer Sciences (FCS) Extension. The study, titled Analysis of
the Value of Family & Consumer Sciences Extension in the North
Central Region, demonstrates the impact of FCS programming and
prevention education by Cooperative Extension educators.
The study has implications for
programming across the Cooperative Extension System, as well as for
NIFA’s research, education, and extension program leadership.

Prepared
by the research organization Battelle, the study reviewed the impact of
107 of FCS Extension programs and was organized around three primary
areas of impact: Family and Human Development; Food, Nutrition, and
Health; and Family Resource Management. FCS Extension programs help
individuals, families, and communities change behavior, increase their
life knowledge, and develop useful life skills, from stress management
techniques to making healthy food choices for a family on a limited
food budget.
The
webinar will take place on March 9, 1:30 - 3 p.m.
