By Samantha Murray
University of Florida
Recognizing visionary leadership and
diversity in educational programming,
the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
(USDA) National Institute of Food
and Agriculture (NIFA), Cooperative
Extension, and the Association of Public
and Land-grant Universities (APLU)
announced that Jamie Ellis of the
University of Florida would receive the
2020 Excellence in Extension Award.
USDA-NIFA and Cooperative
Extension have sponsored the award
since 1991. The awards were presented
virtually on Oct. 28.
" Each year, these awards showcase the
fundamental, transformative difference
Cooperative Extension continues to
make in our society, " said NIFA Acting
Director Parag Chitnis. " Excellent
programs like these are a testament to
the true value of Cooperative Extension
capacity funds more than a century
after the Smith-Lever Act created
this unparalleled system of outreach
and education that enriches every
community across the nation. "
" This year's National Cooperative
Extension Award winners demonstrate
educational excellence, " said Mark
Latimore Jr., associate dean and
administrator for Extension, Fort
Valley State University, and chair
Jamie Ellis of the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

as a powerful example of the impact
of Cooperative Extension to address
real-world problems in communities
across the country. "
The Excellence in Extension Award
is given annually to one Cooperative
Extension professional who excels
at programming, provides visionary
leadership and makes a positive impact
on constituents served.
Ellis is the director of the UF/IFAS
Honey Bee Research and Extension
Laboratory, as well as a professor
and Extension specialist in the
UF/IFAS department of entomology
and nematology.
The laboratory's mission is to
advance the understanding of
honeybees in Florida, the U.S. and
globally, with the goal of improving
the health and productivity of
honeybee colonies everywhere. Ellis
advances this mission through basic
and applied research with managed
and wild honeybees, communicating
his findings to assorted clientele
groups through diverse Extension
programming, and training future
generations of bee educators, researchers
and conservationists. His work has
contributed to a four-fold increase in the
number of managed honeybee colonies
and a five-fold increase in the number of
beekeepers in Florida.
" Dr. Ellis is a model for faculty not just
at our university but within the landgrant
system and across the world, " said
Nick Place, dean of UF/IFAS Extension.
" He is the go-to person for all things
honeybees. Dr. Ellis has gained national
and international recognition for his
innovative Extension programming,
which has allowed beekeepers and other
stakeholders to adopt science-based
practices that improve the health and
productivity of honeybee colonies. Dr.
Ellis' program has also increased the
public's awareness about the importance
of honeybees within the food system and
how all of us can support pollinators. "
Ellis said he was honored to receive
the award.
" Successful Extension programming
is always the result of the investment
of many people. I am grateful to my
UF/IFAS colleagues, my collaborators,
and the beekeepers we serve. I am
excited that our efforts are making a
lasting impact in the communities we
support, " Ellis said. FGN
