Abstract
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach connects every Iowan in our 99-county campus with the tremendous research, education, and practical knowledge coming out of Iowa State University. Our counties, elected county councils, program areas, and ISU Extension and Outreach staff work together to ensure that ISU Extension and Outreach educational opportunities and programs are meaningfully accessible to all Iowans. This session will provide a brief glimpse into some of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion related work carried out in all facets of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and allow an interactive opportunity for attendees to consider their own identities and how those identities impact engagement with themselves, others, and their environments.
