The university’s connectivity to the people of Iowa is one of the things David Peters appreciates most about working for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

“I like the idea that I can get calls out of the blue from someone in a town or a farmer who wants to talk about an idea,” said Peters, associate professor and extension rural sociologist at Iowa State. “It’s the idea that Iowans feel they can call Iowa State and talk about an idea they have to help their community. That connection people feel, that’s something I like about Iowa culture and the relationship Iowa State has to the people of the state.”
