The Dean and Director's Award to Distinguished Extension Programs Assistant/Nutrition Education Assistants was established in 1995 under the leadership of Gail Skinner-West, acting Dean and Director (1995), in cooperation with the Extension Civil Service Consultative Committee, to recognize excellence in performing the work of Extension. It carries a $1,000 stipend and is available annually to a community program assistant, nutrition education assistant, 4-H program assistant, or community program specialist. Selections are made by a committee from nominations by Extension colleagues.
