🔸Where in the World are Our Extension Folks?🔸

Long time, no see, friends!

Our state specialists have been busy this semester teaching undergraduate and graduate classes, traveling to conferences, doing research, AND extending their resources and knowledge to state and community constituents.

Last week, Dr. Cline and Delaney traveled to Blanchard, OK where they presented a CliftonStrengths workshop to the greenhouse personnel at 3J Farms. The staff were excited to kick off another great season with this leadership training. What better way to learn about personal and teammates’ strengths than being surrounded by plants?!🪴

All was fun in the name of greenhouse leaders!

Last week, Dr. Brown’s AGLE 3303 Leadership Theory class hosted the youth from Payne County Youth Services, Inc. for a fun-filled day in all things agriculture. The students were divided into groups and paired with a faculty member to provide a mini lesson and activity on various agricultural topics to the youth. The youth got to hear about opportunities at Oklahoma State Ferguson College of Agriculture, see how taste panels are conducted for meat, and ended the day at the Dairy Center.

All was fun in the name of immersing in agriculture!

🔸Where in the World is Our Extension Assistant?🔸

On November 19, Delaney attended the 4-H Winter In-Service where she presented a workshop on the experiential learning model. Workshop attendees participated in a team leadership activity that they could later use as ideas for their own programming then reflected and discussed the underlying concepts of the activity, thereby executing the experiential learning model! Attendees then discussed how they might incorporate the model into their own practices.

All was fun in the name of learning through experiences!
