| Welcome to HES Impact... ...a spirited look at key programs involving state and
regional specialists in Human Environmental Sciences Extension (HES). Faculty at the
University of Missouri-Columbia's College of HES research issues affecting Missourians in
the areas of textile and apparel management, food science and nutrition, environmental
design, consumer and family economics, human development and family studies, and social
work. |

| Through the Outreach and Extension
function of our College, our specialists take that knowledge to Missourians in the form of
educational programming that reaches all corners of the state. I'm so proud of this dedicated work aimed to assist Missouri
families and communities. The impact described in most of these articles is the result of
strong cooperative efforts between state and regional Extension specialists, networking
with other agencies, and, most importantly, the determination and talent of Missouri
citizens.
Impact `99 introduces you to two new outreach
faculty in the College of HES—Atiya Mahmood in the Environmental Design Department
and Dale Brigham in the Food Science and Human Nutrition Department. We are delighted to
have these two talented faculty on our team.
In this Impact issue we are sharing with you our
educational efforts that address key issues facing Missouri families—child care,
adolescent decision-making, affordable housing, education and support of parents,
nutrition and health, and managing of family resources.
As Impact `99 goes to press, I will have less than a
year left of my time at MU, due to my retirement in December 1999. So, this is a good time
for me to tell you what a pleasure it has been to work with HES Outreach and Extension
faculty at the community level and those on campus. Be assured, Missouri families are
being supported by a dedicated, passionate, and hard-working group of HES specialists!
They are so knowledgeable. More importantly, they care about you!
Sincerely,
Barb Froke
