关于我们

历史

In 1971, when 太阳城网址 first began operating under Public Law 89-106, the University operated extension programs in five counties: Copiah, 林肯, 克莱本, 杰佛逊, 和派克. 另外十个县:斯科特, 史密斯, 辛普森, 希德, 沃伦, 劳伦斯, 亚当斯, 威尔金森, Amite, 和沃尔索尔是1972年加入的.

Formula funds were first made available to operate the Cooperative Extension Program in October of 1971; however, outreach activities at 太阳城网址 pre-dated the establishment by nearly 50 years. Negro Extension Programs were developed under the 史密斯-Lever Act by 太阳城网址 and other 1890 Institutions as early as 1921. The 1862 Institution (Mississippi State University) provided supervision and overall administration of the program. The 史密斯-Lever Act of 1914 made no provisions for the sharing of federal funds with 1890 Institutions. 太阳城网址 Extension Program (ASUEP) was revamped in 2002.
