Networking Opportunies at Fall Conference

by Mike Riese, Linda Tempel and Rick Koelsch, UNL Extension

New to this year's fall conference, Extension professionals have four unique opportunities to grow their networks with other Extension peers.  These opportunities, jointly sponsored by NCEA and UNL Extension, were designed to support the #1 reason faculty have told us they come to Fall Conference.  By signing up we will reserve space (generally a table or floor space) at these networking sessions for you. Learn more below.

 

Issue/Opportunity Breakout Sessions - Sign Up

Do you:

• See an emerging issue in which Extension should consider engaging?
• Have an idea in which you would like to identify other interested faculty?
• Wish to propose an initiative that would engage multiple action teams or work groups?
• Anticipate a need for a new curriculum resource, decision tool, or other educational resource?

This is an opportunity to propose a discussion topic and learn who might be interested in partnering with you on a future proposal, extension initiative, or examining an emerging issue.  We will provide you an opportunity to share your idea and 40 minutes of time to visit others that might share your interest.  Individuals and teams are invited to propose An "Issue/Opportunity Breakout Session" around which you wish to start a discussion.

New Faculty Networking Session - Sign Up
Being new to Extension means we need to get to know you. We would like you to share something about yourself which might include your school, a prop for your favorite hobby, or something such as a YouTube video introducing yourself. The rest of your Extension colleagues would like to learn something about you. We will provide you a table and space at this networking session for you to introduce yourself to your Extension colleagues.
 

Technology Show & Tell Networking Session - Sign Up

All Extension professionals are invited to show off something they are doing with technology in Extension.  Do you have a cool app or decision tool, social media effort engaging clientele, valued tool for collaborating with a team, or educational experience delivered on-line.  Have you applied other (non-electronic) technologies to create a unique educational experience?  We invite all Extension Professionals to share a "Technology Show & Tell" experience with their peers in an informal networking environment.  We will provide space and/or table for your "Technology Show & Tell".

 

Extension Specialist Networking Session - Sign Up

Extension Specialists are invited to share research and extension programs with those attending Fall Conference during a specified networking time. What are your interests?  What cool research are you doing?  What educational products would you like to apply in Nebraska?  You are invited to set-up a poster (including a previously presented research poster), table top display, or short video to help others learn of your program and interests.  The goal of this session is to give Extension Specialists the opportunity to share their work as well as network with others that may be interested in similar topics.

Questions about any of these sessions can be addressed to Linda Tempel at 402-472-2966.
