UNH Cooperative Extension’s Family, Home and Garden Education Center now has a much simpler name: UNH Cooperative Extension Education Center.

Following a two-year strategic planning process, the Center’s Advisory Council recommended a stronger connection to UNH Cooperative Extension in the Center’s name. The shortened name still maintains the most important part of the name, Education Center, to help with continuity. The shorter name was proposed and approved by Extension’s Leadership Team.

The physical location of the Center in Manchester at 200 Bedford St., will be referred to as the UNH Cooperative Extension Education Center. InfoLine will continue to be used in reference to the toll-free phone number at the Center.

A marketing plan also recommended discontinuance of the Family, Home and Garden logo. A survey of the logo indicated no loss of recognition, and the logo competed with UNH branding. New promotional materials more consistent with UNH Cooperative Extension branding will be distributed.
