Urban and New Nontraditional Programs
An increasing emphasis of Extension programming within the last decade has been on urban and nontraditional programs, focusing on the two-thirds of Alabamians who live in urban areas. Urban and New Nontraditional programs are administered through eight urban centers and two satellite offices. Major projects include the urban family network, workforce preparation, domestic violence prevention, teen leadership, health, and nontraditional agriculture.

Famous quotes containing the words urban and/or programs:
“Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–62)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
