The Hillsborough County Extension Service, located just minutes from Tampa, is an educational service provided by both the University of Florida and Hillsborough County. It provides information to the public through workshops, publications and mass media.
In 1914 Congress established the Extension
Service in order to provide a means for
disseminating and implementing research-based
information from land-grant universities. The
University of Florida in Gainesville is
Florida's land-grant university. The transfer of
knowledge "from UF to people throughout the
state is facilitated by "Extension" faculty
located in each of Florida's 67 counties. This
partnership between counties and the university
is the heart of the Cooperative Extension
Service mission and enables the university to
extend its knowledge base to each community.
The mission of extending and implementing
research-based information to the people of
Florida has not changed, however the information
and delivery methods have enormously improved.
The driving force for these information delivery
methods are the needs of citizens in each
county. County extension faculty develop
educational programs based on issues determined
by their urban and commercial customers or
citizens. These priority issues form the basis
for major educational programs that are
conducted statewide.
Information is delivered by satellite courses, computer software, seminars, video presentations, world wide web, or by the traditional lecture and print medium. Our customers participate in classes statewide and implement new information in their business, homes and communities.
