Performance Goal: Defining OSU Extension as the Nation's Leading Extension Program

The strength of Ohio State University Extension is found within its ability to deliver locally driven programming. In Ohio this means a presence in each of Ohio’s 88 counties in partnership with county commissioners. Extension programming is delivered by professionals who work to address the needs of the local community. Extension also addresses global issues. Three key issues that face the residents of Ohio and the nation include economic stability, healthy lifestyles, and educational success. The nature of these complex key issues requires programming that is holistic and increasingly multidisciplinary. OSU Extension will continue to be positioned as a national leader in programming and research due to the interaction of its professionals across disciplines to expand their subject matter expertise. By strengthening its ability to focus the skills and abilities of personnel, OSU Extension will expand its research and delivery of the latest knowledge, while maintaining an emphasis on local programming needs.
