Extension

Connecting the university to our communities.

Partnering with communities and industries.

Cooperative Extension works to improve lives, communities, and the economy through a statewide network of knowledgeable faculty and staff. As a part of our land-grant university, Cooperative Extension plays a critical role in our mission to educate our communities and empower the next generation of experts to grow sustainable regional and global economies, and to develop new knowledge and technologies to benefit society.

Extension Faculty

Cooperative Extension faculty and our county agents connect research on animal production and welfare with caregivers and commercial producers across the state, with a particular focus on both dairy and beef cattle and horses. They also work with young people all over Arizona through 4-H programs, inspiring the next generation of leaders, inventors and problem solvers.
