About Us
County Impact Statements - Pulaski County
In Pulaski County, we are experiencing greater changes in demographics than
ever before. The very fabric of our community is changing and the challenge will
be whether we can adjust from a majority-focused society to a pluralistic
society that honors diverse cultures and perspectives. The county Extension
program provides unbiased research-based educational information to help people
at all levels to be successful: as well as contributing to both societal and
economic needs identified by this community.
We recognize the value of local involvement in the development of our
programs and involve people in many ways: as program participants, volunteer
leaders, committee members, resource people, financial supporters and advocates.
We strive to be flexible in our programs and openly convey a willingness to
serve our community. Our function will be to discover new information, or to
reorganize old information into new meaning and apply it to emerging and
persistent problems. Our function will be to teach "students" how to learn in a
society based on knowledge and learning. We invite your comments and suggestions
in order to plan future programs that will help address issues and needs
important to this county.
It is with pleasure that we submit some of the impacts of our programs.
