eXtension has released two eFieldbooks for the Impact Collaborative Summit. An eFieldbook is a “go-to” interactive, multi-dimension communication resource for Extension professionals and project/program teams to begin discussion, help establish processes, and assist with the delivery of new programs. Extension professionals can take the eFieldbook in the field with them on their iOS compatible devices, upload and share information with others, and help pull the best resources together into one place from across the nation.
- Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, curated by Shatomi Edward-Luster, University of Missouri, Impact Collaborative Fellow
- Opioid Response, curated by the ECOP Opioid Task Force led by Mark Skidmore, Michigan State University

Washington State University (WSU) is redefining how Extension works in urban areas. Its Metropolitan Center for Applied Research and Extension (Metro Center) engages nontraditional Extension audiences using an innovative business model that focuses on short-term projects instead of long-term programs. Outcome-driven, client-centered, and solution-oriented, the Metro Center works to develop practical, place-based solutions by being a conduit between metropolitan decision makers and WSU faculty expertise across the state.

More than a half-century ago, the city of Akron, Ohio, built a highway called the Innerbelt into its downtown. Like a lot of freeways created during that era, it destroyed some neighborhoods while cutting off others from the center of the city. This unused freeway has become a pop-up forest and makes it easy to envision turning practically any area into green space. Follow this link to read the complete article.
