Complete: Institute assignment and primary/secondary emphasis selection for county-based educators
County-based educators and coordinators have completed the survey to select primary and optional secondary programs in the institutes that they were assigned to on February 19. If you are a county-based educator who hasn’t completed the survey, please email Nathaniel Shay.
Beginning: Next round of institute assignments and primary/secondary program emphasis selection
The next round of institute assignments and the accompanying survey for remaining staff in the Cooperative Extension Departments of Agriculture and Natural Resources and Youth, Family & Community Development will be sent out to groups of individuals by former Program Area (CNRED, 4-Y YD, ANRE, FL). The change from the first round is based on feedback from the Office of Human Resources. We plan to start the process the first former program area by sending out proposed assignments to non-integrated specialists and university staff. They will have two weeks to complete the survey. Integrated specialists will receive assignments in late March/early April.
