The University of Arizona Cooperative Extension is proud to announce a new
website dedicated to demonstrating the impacts of our programs. Arizona
Delivers, at http://cals.arizona.edu/delivers/ , provides one-page impact
stories about the outreach education we do at the College of Agriculture and
Life Sciences. The website is searchable by
topic or county. It is a tool for faculty to communicate with elected
officials and the general public. All the stories have been developed using
materials from faculty Annual Performance Reports (APROL). Each one-page
story can be printed for you to use with Boards of Supervisors, funding
organizations, and decision makers. We hope you will find it useful to
market your programs. Send suggestions for stories to Joanne Littlefield,
jslittle@cals.arizona.edu
Send comments and suggestions for the website to Kelly Block,

The first class of volunteer Grandparent Mentors was honored by Extension,
