On April 17, we’ll celebrate 100 years of Extension on UF’s Plaza of the Americas with guest speakers, food fresh from Florida, activities and displays showing today’s Extension programs and how you can find a career helping people find solutions for the next 100 years.

The Cooperative Extension System was established by the Smith-Lever Act of 1914, and allows us all to benefit from the research and education of each state’s land-grant universities. Extension has helped millions of Floridians by tapping the latest information from the research engines of the University of Florida and Florida A&M University and converting it into practical knowledge we use every day.
