The University of Minnesota Extension and the SWROC work closely "connecting community needs and University resources."

It is our goal to create a more "seamless" organization between Extension outreach, research, and education. Greater integration of the Research and Outreach Centers and the University of Minnesota Extension Service will continue to enhance the programs delivered to this part of the state.
