Message from the Director

Dear friends,

When it comes to taking care of what matters in Mississippi, Extension continues leading the way. We’re staying true to Mississippi State University’s land-grant mission: research, education, and service. Extension works with MSU researchers to educate our clients with the most up-to-date information to make their lives better.

This issue of Extension Matters takes a deep dive into the stories of how our clients use Extension education to accomplish their goals, inspiring other Mississippi residents to use our services, too. We continue offering the educational programs that our clients request, and we partner with the state, its counties, and its municipalities to offer even more services to the people of the great state of Mississippi.

I remain passionate about Extension’s mission because, in Extension, we’re improving people’s lives every day. What makes us special is what citizens think about us and the services we provide—we’re changing lives for the better.

Hail State,

Dr. Angus Catchot
Director, MSU Extension Service
