The Department of Human Development is recipient of a new grant, “Using Information Technology to Meet the Needs of the Community through Human Development Extension: Partnerships for Progress.” The project will utilize the internet to disseminate educational tools, relevant research, and other resources. The goal is to provide easy access to research-based information for county educators and many other interested groups, which they can in turn use in a host of educational programs. The project will produce a quarterly electronic newsletter, at least four webcasts, supporting fact sheets, PowerPoint presentations, and other resources which will be available on the HD Outreach and Extension web site.

The project is led by Valerie Reyna, Human Development Professor and Department Extension Leader. For more information, visit the project website or contact Karene Booker, (607) 255-7735;  ktb1@cornell.edu.
