All universities engage in research and teaching, but land-grant universities like Montana State University have a third critical mission – Extension. Extension means reaching out and “extending” resources, solving public needs with university resources through non-formal, non-credit programs. Montana State University Extension is an educational resource dedicated to improving the quality of people’s lives by providing research-based knowledge to strengthen the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of families, communities, and agricultural enterprises. MSU Extension offers university resources for all Montanans to explore, even if they never set foot on campus. We provide access to useful information and expert knowledge via workshops, demonstrations, community meetings, publications, videos, the Internet and other learning opportunities. Extension links a network Welcome to Roosevelt County of MSU faculty, topic specialists on the MSU Bozeman campus and our Roosevelt County Extension agents to the people. The Roosevelt County MSU Extension staff is proud to provide services in the following areas: • 4-H Youth Development • Agriculture and Horticulture • Family and Consumer Sciences • Community and Economic Development Roosevelt County was founded in 1919.
