LITTLE ROCK – The Cooperative Extension Service, the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station and their parent, the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, are all migrating to new web addresses.
The Cooperative Extension Service, the outreach arm of the Division of Agriculture, is moving to https://uaex.uada.edu, effective April 1. The Division of Agriculture is moving to https://uada.edu on that date as well.
The Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, the Division of Agriculture’s research arm, will move to https://aaes.uada.edu, effective May 1.
The new URL will also bring a change of email addresses for faculty and staff of the Cooperative Extension Service. All of those addresses will now be @uada.edu. Faculty based at the U of A Fayetteville campus will retain their @uark.edu addresses.
“We wanted the Cooperative Extension Service and the Agricultural Experiment Station to share a common root to their web addresses to reflect that we are all part of a single organization,” said Mark Cochran, vice president-agriculture for the University of Arkansas System. “We are a unique organization providing two historic land grant missions to Arkansas with an eye to helping improve the lives of all Arkansans.”
The Division of Agriculture is one of 20 independent campus-level entities within the University of Arkansas System. (See: http://www.uasys.edu/). It has faculty and staff at UA-Fayetteville, UA-Monticello and Arkansas State University. The Division of Agriculture funds and shares most of the faculty members at UA-Fayetteville’s Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural Food and Life Sciences, which focuses on the classroom teaching of agriculture.
The Division of Agriculture was created in 1959 by the U of A Board of Trustees. (See: http://arkansasagnews.uark.edu/fall08.land.pdf).
The Division of Agriculture is also sometimes confused with the Arkansas Department of Agriculture. Created by the Legislature in 1979, the Arkansas Department of Agriculture serves as a regulatory and policy entity for the state.
The Cooperative Extension Service maintains offices in all 75 counties. The educational programs each office conducts is determined locally by a council comprised of that county’s residents. The Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station maintains research locations around Arkansas.
