Cooperative Extension & Outreach
The Smith-Lever Act of 1914 instituted an "extension" function of Land Grant universities across the nation like the University of Guam. The idea behind extension is to extend practical, relevant, research-based information to the community.
The needs and concerns of the citizens of Guam and the broader Micronesian region and trends in consumer practices are what drive UOG's extension work.
In response, UOG Cooperative Extension & Outreach develops non-formal workshops, group and one-on-one trainings, self-education materials, and services to help community members make informed decisions and live healthy, productive, and sustainable lives. Our agents specialize in agriculture, natural resources, food science and technology, health and nutrition, family and consumer sciences, and youth development.
Our job is to make sure that we bring the community in – taking research, taking science and converting it into something that we all understand and that we can all apply.”
Anita Borja Enriquez, President of UOG
