The "One Great Idea" that launched the Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) system 100 years ago was visionary at the time and remains so today, but must be supported so it can continue to deliver its vision well into the future, says Kathryn Boor, the Ronald P. Lynch Dean of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
Boor delivered the first CCE Centennial Lecture on June 28, 2011. She spoke about the importance of science in everyday life and CCE's role in engaging people of all ages in its application.
