Three Extension staff join other UNH faculty members in the 2008 UNH Outreach Scholars Academy. Now in its fourth year, the Academy is a faculty development program, designed to enhance faculty success in outreach scholarship within the disciplines.

Rick Alleva, Extension Educator, 4-H Youth Development, Julia Peterson, Extension Associate Professor/Specialist, Water Resources, and Malcolm Smith, Extension Associate Professor/Specialist, Family Education and Policy, will represent UNH Cooperative Extension this year in the Academy.

The Academy will meet several times throughout the coming semester with a national expert, coaches and Outreach Scholars Academy alumni with the goal to identify, mentor and work with faculty from across the institution interested in outreach scholarship. Congratulations!
