MSU Extension Wexford County

A message from the District Director

Once again, it is my pleasure to share the results of another successful year of partnership between Wexford County and Michigan State University (MSU) Extension. With your continued support, our team at MSU Extension has been able to make a difference in the lives of youth, families, businesses, and Wexford County residents through our broad range of research-based educational programs and services!

In 2023, our MSU Extension team worked to empower families and individuals to live healthier lives, supported new and local businesses, created opportunities for youth development and career exploration, helped farmers with business management and mental health awareness, and much more. Our staff live and work alongside Wexford County residents, are rooted in community relationships, and are responsive to community needs. Our partnership with you makes this all possible. On behalf of the MSU Extension team serving Wexford County, thank you for another great year. We look forward to your continued support and hope you'll be able to join us during one of our upcoming programs. 

-Eric Karbowski, District Director
