The arrival of spring brings many things to our world—warmth and light, new growth, and this year, a new website for the University of Maryland Extension!
The redesigned Extension website features a fresh new appearance that mirrors that of its sponsoring college, the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Both sites were redesigned over the past year to present a more consistent look with the University of Maryland website.
The new UME site doesn’t just have a prettier face; its entire structure has also been redesigned with an emphasis on doing what Extension does best: educating citizens about issues in their communities and their world.
The central focus of the site is on learning, and the content has been broken down into eight major topics that cover Extension educators’ areas of expertise: 4-H & Youth, Agriculture, Environment & Natural Resources, Food & Nutrition, Health & Wellness, Home Gardening, Money, and Water & the Chesapeake Bay. For answers that can’t be found within the articles already on the site, the Ask an Expert feature connects visitors directly to someone from within Extension who can help.
The authors of the new Extension website are committed to providing fresh, valuable content to the people who visit it, so it will be continually updated with educational articles, information about upcoming events, and news about what UME has been doing in the community. Enjoy exploring the many sides of University of Maryland Extension!
