Extension
Professionals' Creed
I
believe in people and their hopes, their aspirations, and their
faith; in their right to make their own plans and arrive at
their own decisions; in their ability and power to enlarge
their lives and plan for the happiness of those they love.
I
believe that education, of which Extension is an essential
part, is basic in stimulating individual initiative, self-determination,
and leadership; that these are the keys to democracy and that
people, when given facts they understand, will act not only
in their self-interest, but also in the interest of society.
I
believe that education is a lifelong process and the greatest
university is the home; that my success as a teacher is proporational
to those qualities of mind and spirit that give me welcome
entrance to the homes of the families I serve.
I
believe in intellectual freedom to search for and present the
truth without bias and with courteous tolerance toward the
views of others.
I
believe that Extension is the link between the people and the
ever-changing discoveries in laboratories.
I
believe in the public institutions of which I am a part.
I
believe in my own work and in the opportunity I have to make
my life useful to humanity.
Because
I believe these things, I am an Extension professional.
