The Cooperative Extension Service is
the largest outreach program of Clemson University and South Carolina
State University. As land-grant institutions it is our mission to extend
the knowledge and resources of both universities and the USDA to the
people of South Carolina.
The Extension Service functions through
a unique partnership of federal, state, and local governments working with
a vast corps of volunteers to extend research results and technology to
the people of South Carolina.
Feedback from the general public to
both universities on research needs and public service priorities is
essential to achieving the Extension mission. Therefore, the State
Extension Advisory Council has been organized as a mechanism to receive
that feedback.
