North Star Legacy Communities - Building Sustainability using Community Resiliency Tenets - Program Center Stage (Connect Extension)
July 25, 2022
12-1 p.m. PDT
Click here to learn more and register.
Learn about the North Star Legacy Community. Legacy Communities are African American communities that formed shortly after Emancipation. These self-reliant communities have survived decades withstanding unbelievable amounts of pressure from racist policies such as Jim Crow laws, acts of violence, and government neglect. Legacy Communities created important relationships with their neighbors that allowed them to thrive. This site seeks to take these neighborhoods' sense of community and share it with the world, inviting history-seekers and weekenders to explore their communities throughout North Florida.
Moving on From Traditions - Dynamic Discussions (Connect Extension)
July 28, 2022
11 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Click here to read more and register.
Extension's storied past and sacred traditions served us well for more than a century. But today's world and issues are unlike history, demanding fresh thinking about the best ways to accomplish our mission of empowering communities of all sizes to meet the challenges they face, adapt to changing technology, improve nutrition and food safety, prepare for and respond to emergencies, and protect our environment.
Three recently retired (but not tired) directors of state Extension Services share their perspectives about meaningful (and frequently ongoing) improvements in the way we plan, design and implement our work. By participating, we hope you will react to their admonitions about the 1) strategic value of calling upon the entire university for Extension and engagement, 2) short-sighted programming by single disciplines and 3) failures in strategic planning. Hosted by Extension Directors Rick Klemme and Scott Reed.
Costs for High-Speed Internet Reduced for Millions of Americans (Connect Extension– article)
High-speed internet service is no longer a luxury — it's a necessity. But too many families go without high-speed internet because of the cost or have to cut back on other essentials to make their monthly internet service payments. Lowering prices — including the cost of high-speed internet service — is President Biden's top priority. In May 2021, President Biden and Vice President Harris announced that they secured private sector commitments that will lower high-speed internet costs for millions of American families.

Getting to Diverse Representation of ANR Volunteers
by Pam Kan Rice
We know we need to attract more diverse representation for ANR volunteers. An article from North Carolina State University confirms it's not just ANR.
The authors wrote, "Overall, 95% of respondents identified as white. The lack of racial diversity was striking for each sample, with 96% of participants in both the Christmas Bird count and Candid Critters identifying as white and 88% of respondents from SciStarter saying the same. While only 14% of the U.S. population has a graduate or professional degree, about half of our survey respondents held these degrees. Additionally, while only 6% of the U.S. population has careers in science, technology, engineering or math, almost half of our survey respondents from all three data sources worked in STEM fields.
"Participating in citizen science is linked to personal benefits like learning new skills and building community. If citizen science is only reaching educated white science professionals, then it's concentrating the benefits of participation among this group.
"Additionally, if one of the goals of citizen science is to boost science literacy and trust in science, it can't achieve that goal if it's preaching to the choir by only reaching people who already work in science." https://theconversation.com/citizen-science-volunteers-are-almost-entirely-white-184997

In recent years, organizations have faced an unprecedented amount of talent loss. While there are numerous external forces that may cause employees to leave a company—opportunities for advancement, more flexible schedules, better pay—you also need to look at the possibility that biased practices in your organization are pushing employees to leave. In this course, Jodi-Ann Burey shows how an approach rooted in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) best practices can help your company leverage inclusion practices to get at the business of truly caring for employees, provide an equitable workplace for all, and retain your valuable workforce.
