Areas of outreach

Extension is the outreach unit of the College/University that brings you information to solve problems and deal with critical issues. We have offices statewide to serve you, whether you live on a ranch near the remote Rubies or in an urban setting in Las Vegas. Our more than 200 personnel - with the help of volunteers - deliver non-degree, educational programs on topics important to you. We couldn't do it without the help of our federal and county partners, and the other groups, agencies, businesses and individuals with whom we collaborate.
