Our Vision for the Future: MSU Extension's Strategic Direction Report

In 2023, MSU Extension began a bold, yearlong process to figure out how we could continue tackling Michigan’s most pressing needs with an innovative, community-centered approach for years to come.

Guided by extensive input gathered through interviews and listening sessions held across the state, we created the Strategic Direction Plan, a roadmap reflecting the big moves on our horizon so we can continue meeting people where they are and where they’re headed.

To learn where we’re going, why it matters, and how we’re building the next chapter of Extension, explore the Strategic Direction Report here.
