Historical Note

The Humanities Extension/Publications Program is a North Carolina Educational Partnership. It engages faculty members in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences with the general public as well as the state's K-12 population of students and teachers. In the land-grant spirit of formal and informal education, this engagement is a two-way exchange of expertise and information. Services provided to the public include free workshops and seminars, OUTREACH visits to local school classrooms statewide, summer institutes, writing camps for 4-H and other youth, and grade-level curriculum development including social studies textbooks and supplemental videos. From the public the Program's faculty get valuable suggestions about new research domains and approaches that lead to new offerings. The Cooperative Extension Service, state and local educational agencies, and public libraries as well as community learning centers are partners in this educational services network.

As the organized extension and outreach program of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at NC State University, Humanities Extension/Publications enables the college to be a full partner in the mission of the university. The scope of related activities is broad, involves teaching and research faculty efforts, and draws service from the campus to all age groups of state citizens. Until 1978 the college did not organize its extension and outreach program. An alliance with the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service in that year became the seedbed of the program that flourishes today.
