Three Alabama Cooperative Extension System representatives are a part of the E-Waste Consortium that recently developed the E-Waste Institute at Alabama A&M University. They are: Dr. Jannie Carter, Extension assistant director Urban Affairs and New Nontraditional Programs; Rosalie Lane, an urban Extension community resource development specialist; and Erica Fields, an Extension graduate assistant.
