AMSA RMC symposium to discuss how extension education programs adapt to technology and funding challenges
The American Meat Science Association (AMSA) is pleased to announce that, Dr. Joseph Cordray, Iowa State University; Dr. John Shutske, University of Wisconsin and Dr. Janice Swanson, Michigan State University, will be the featured speakers in the AMSA 67th Reciprocal Meat Conference (RMC) Contemporary Models for Extension Education Programs Symposium, on Tuesday, June 17.
The Changing Face of Meat Science Extension: While the mission of Meat Science Extension, to provide knowledge and connections for people interested in meat science to achieve their personal and professional goals, has not changed, the way we fulfill that mission has changed. In the past 30 years, we have seen significant changes in clientele, content, delivery of materials, funding, and publication format. Consumer’s demand for high quality, convenient and safe meat products coupled with the need to comply with complex regulations are creating an ever increasing need for Meat Science Extension. In this presentation Dr. Cordray will discuss with attendees how extension education must adapt programs and content delivery methods using current technology.
