ACES Dean Robert Hauser and University of Illinois Extension Director George Czapar were in Washington, DC for the annual Council for Agricultural, Research, Extension and Teaching (CARET) meeting, which brings together representatives from all across the nation who advocate on behalf of core land-grant missions.
Although they were scheduled to meet with nearly half of the Illinois delegation, the snowstorm that blew through unfortunately shut down Capitol Hill. However, they still had a chance to meet with the offices of Rep. John Shimkus and Rep. Danny Davis. In the meetings, they provided updates on projects underway at the College of ACES, and communicated the value and impact of extension services.
