OFFICE OF THE INTERIM DIRECTOR<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"PictureWelcome to the University of Maine Cooperative Extension! We are located across the state in 16 county offices, research farms, 4-H camps, and online. We are the largest outreach component of the University of Maine and reach more Maine people than any other entity within the seven-campus University of Maine System. Our work is focused on two areas of excellence. UMaine Cooperative Extension conducts the state\u2019s most successful out-of-school youth education program through 4-H, empowering young people to reach their full potential. Extension also helps support, sustain, and grow the food-based economy across the entire state of Maine. We are the only entity in our state that touches every aspect of the Maine Food System, where policy, research, production, processing, commerce, nutrition, and food security and safety are integral and interrelated.<\/p>\n

UMaine Cooperative Extension is determined to make a positive difference in our areas of excellence for the citizens of Maine. Explore our website, visit a county office, and contact our enthusiastic workforce.<\/p>\n

\"PictureCaribou native named dean of University of Maine Cooperative Extension<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Caribou, Maine native Hannah Carter has been named dean of University of Maine Cooperative Extension, effective May 1. Carter was an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural Education and Communication at the University of Florida (UF), which is part of the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS). She directed UF\u2019s Wedgworth Leadership Institute for Agriculture and Natural Resources, and was interim director of the UF\/IFAS Center for Leadership.<\/p>\n

Carter received her Ph.D. and master\u2019s degree in agricultural education and communication, specializing in agricultural leadership and Extension education, from the University of Florida, and has been a member of the UF community since 1997. She is a graduate of the University of Maine at Presque Isle.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor more than a decade, Dr. Carter has been involved in leadership development programming on state and national levels, particularly as it pertains to agriculture and Cooperative Extension,\u201d says Jeffrey Hecker, UMaine executive vice president for academic affairs and provost. \u201cShe also knows UMaine Extension and the difference it can make \u2014 from 4-H, the most successful out-of-school youth education program in Maine, to the integrated pest management program that supports the state\u2019s agriculture industries. The fact that, following an extensive national search, the candidate who rose to the top of the applicant pool has deep roots in Maine is the icing on the cake. We are thrilled that Hannah will return to her home state to lead the university\u2019s most extensive community outreach enterprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a passion for people, for agriculture and for 4-H, and I am so excited for the opportunity to return home and apply all my experiences for the benefit of the state of Maine. This position is one that I aspired to, and I look forward to beginning my new position in May,\u201d Carter says.<\/p>\n
