As the country attempts to resume some normalcy after the terrorist attacks of September 11, I am thankful for the small wonders that impact lives in enormous ways. I am talking about the people of Extension who work daily to enhance lives and enrich communities. My colleagues here at UANNP are no exception! This newsletter is just one platform to tell you, the reader, about their unselfish acts not only here in Alabama, but as far away as the shores of West Africa.
This is the first issue of Metro News and we're excited about this publication. Metro is a quarterly bilingual newsletter that will eventually become an online publication only. So, don't just read the printed text stop by our website as we continue to bring you insightful information that affects urban and nontraditional audiences worldwide.
I extend a special thanks to the editorial board and to contributing writers for helping to make this publication a reality! As Iyanla Vanzant once wrote, "Rest. Work. Play. Serve. Learn. Teach. Give. Receive." Your efforts are not in vain!
