Purdue Extension looks for new leader

By Randy Woodson, Glenn W. Sample Dean of Agriculture

At the end of June, David Petritz retires as director of Purdue Extension. As we search for his replacement, it‘s apparent that Purdue Extension touches people’s lives from the young to the old, from those with few resources to those with many, and from rural, to suburban to urban settings.

The next Purdue Extension director must be as savvy as a corporate president, but with a heart for service, and a visionary who sees a future for Purdue Extension that incorporates new challenges, but with a desire to continue to serve existing stakeholders.
