Abstract
In December of 2015, results of the VP Conversation on the Future of Extension were shared at the Annual OSU Extension Conference. Study outputs were released that would guide the programmatic direction of OSU Extension. A year later, conversations within the extension community indicated that the excitement surrounding the VP Conversation and implementation of its findings may have died down, and perceptions were that extension professionals believed there were opportunities to more fully utilize the VP Conversation findings.
A need was observed to receive organized, concrete feedback on the VP Conversation to evaluate the project and to determine how the results could be more effectively applied to the work of OSU Extension. The observed led to the creation of this undergraduate research project, which involved eight qualitative interviews with OSU Extension professionals.
