District directions

On Friday, July 29, the four finalists to fill the positions of eastern and western district regional coordinators for The Cooperative Extension Program will be presenting seminars on "Managing Extension: A Vision for Enhancing Economic Prosperity, Environmental Issues and Quality of Life for Limited Resource Audiences in North Carolina." These seminars are open to all SAES faculty and staff, and they will take place in the Godfrey Multipurpose Room at Coltrane Hall.

Please remember that the doors for the north entrance to Coltrane Hall (facing the School of Nursing) open directly to the Godfrey Room, and that the reflective glass in these doors makes it impossible to determine if a seminar is already in progress before the door is opened. As a courtesy to presenters, please use the south entrance to Coltrane (facing Market Street) whenever you are attending a program or presentation in the Godfrey Room.
