Extension

The family and consumer science division of Oklahoma State University's extension service has always been concerned about families...and keeping them strong. Whether it's a family of one or a family of twenty, we stress education...all kids of education. Finances, nutrition, parenting, safety, and health are just a few of the topics we address on a day-to-day basis. Some of our programs may last weeks, but sometimes, they last only the time it takes to make a phone call. So when you find you need a little help with a family matter, give us a call. Remember, we're here to help.
