News from AEDE: A Note from AEDE Chair

As the spring semester comes to a close, I wanted to reach out to our AEDE Alumni with some department news and ways you can connect with virtual campus events. 
From a virtual commencement to our upcoming webinar on Sustainability and Ohio Lands, AEDE faculty, staff, students and alumni continue to engage in life-long learning.
We hope to run into you in the future when we are all back together on campus.

Sincerely,

Dr. Tim Haab, AEDE Chair, Dean's Chair, Leader of the CFAES Knowledge Exchange (KX)

Knowledge Exchange CO-VID 19 Hub and Discussion Forum

  • An online discussion forum for CFAES/OSU Extension faculty and educators to ask questions of their CFAES colleagues, share resources and programming approaches, and offer coping mechanisms for dealing with uncertainty. 
  • A support resource to help identify reliable, science-backed, and defensible sources for COVID-19-related information. Note: The Hub is not intended to be a public site but is designed to facilitate internal discussions between researcher and educators, generate new ideas and solutions and expedite the translation of information.
