Celebrating 100 Years!

Celebrating 100 Years! The Oregon State University Extension Service celebrates its centennial this year. Its story mirrors the story of Oregon. From the beginning, OSU Extension’s focus was more than agriculture. It was service to the whole family, in the whole community, across the whole state. A visual history »

Today, thousands of OSU Extension-trained volunteers strengthen communities with programs that meet local needs related to environment, health, business, and other areas. Voices of Extension »
