Volume 59, Number 2 (2021)
Introduction
Update from the Journal of Extension Editorial Committee
In an editorial in the December 2020 issue, we announced a move to Clemson University Press and a new editorial model for the Journal of Extension. By now you have likely noticed that the website features a redesigned look that is carried forward on the article templates. Two other changes to point out are the use of Creative Commons Licensing and assignment of DOIs for articles (those published in Volume 59, and eventually all articles in the archived issues). A more complete description of changes can be found in the June 2021 Editorial Note, linked here. All in all, 2021 has brought changes to the Journal of Extension, but the commitment to the mission to publish a high-quality journal and to support author development remain unchanged. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to email Drew Griffin, JOE's production editor () or Theresa Ferrari, chair of the editorial committee ().
