Bio/hist_note-
The
National University Extension Association [NUEA] was formed in March, 1915 at a
meeting of extension deans and
directors at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. A number of extension
educators had talked about a desire to share
ideas and problems, and, after some delays, Dean Louis Reber of the University of Wisconsin organized the
meeting and became the Association's
first president. In 1980, the organization changed its name to the National University Continuing Education Association [NUCEA], largely because many
members felt the term "extension" was too narrow to describe their
programs.

Summry_descrip-
The
founding members of National University Extension Association [NUEA] included
twenty-two institutions: eighteen were
land-grant universities and four were private
institutions. Dean Louis Reber (Univ. of Wisconsin) was elected the first president. [ source: Rohfeld,
Rae] The organization adopted its first constitution and bylaws at its
1916 meeting at the University of Chicago. The Association's stated purpose was
the "establishment of an official
and authorized organization through which colleges and universities and
individuals engaged in educational extension work may confer for their mutual
advantage and for the development and promotion of the best ideals, methods,
and standards for the interpretation and dissemination of the accumulated
knowledge of the race to all who desire to share in its benefits."
[source: Stanley J. Drazek, et.al. EXPANDING
HORIZONS ... CONTINUING EDUCATION. Washington D.C.: National University Extension Association,
1965.] Membership was by institution only, and annual meetings were
held for the mutual sharing and learning of the deans and directors. Other
concerns of the members over the years
were defining extension, developing a standard nomenclature, establishing
standards, and promoting public
policies that would support extension activities. [source: Rohfeld,Rae]
