This milestone event gathered faculty researchers, extension implementers, project leaders and evaluators from all campuses to present, assess, and enhance research and extension programs. It served as a vital platform for presenting and reviewing completed and ongoing research projects and extension programs, ensuring that each initiative meets the highest standards of quality, relevance, and impact.
