In 2014, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Smith-Lever Act of 1914, which officially created the national Cooperative Extension System. This national celebration highlighted Extension's past and focused on the contemporary application of Extension's transformational, educational programming into the future.
The New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) is an integral component of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The experiment station provides a diverse range of research, extension, and education programs that serve the people of New Jersey and the urban, suburban, and rural communities in which they live. Through its Cooperative Extension offices in all 21 New Jersey counties, 4-H agents, Extension specialists, Family & Community Health Sciences educators, and Agricultural and Resource Management agents work to serve New Jersey residents in every area of the state. In addition, nine off-campus centers focus on research that supports local agriculture and food-related businesses, and 10 centers and institutes on the George H. Cook Campus engage in world-class research that provides solutions for the problems facing New Jersey residents.
