For ILR Extension, the assignment is clear: disseminate information to labor and management in order to improve relations between the parties and workplace conditions. The legalistic version of that charge, written into the school's founding legislation, has guided Extension's activities since the first office beyond the Ithaca campus opened in Buffalo in 1946. The "how's" and "what's" have evolved over time, but the spirit and intent underlying Extension's primary task have retained their original force. Today, ILR Extension remains fully committed to advancing the world of work.
