COVID-19 global pandemic impact on Tri-River Area CSU Extension
The Tri-River Area CSU Extension offices serve as the front doors of the university for our community, and therefore are especially committed to the public’s health. Due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, all extension and engagement in-person programming is currently suspended. This includes office closures in Mesa, Delta, and Montrose/Ouray Counties. All face-to-face programming, events, meetings, and workshops with external participants, whether hosted by Extension staff or by volunteers, are cancelled or postponed until further notice, with more information to come as the situation unfolds.
Though we are not physically at the office, The TRA Extension would like to stress that we are still available to you! If you have a question about a specific Extension program, or need assistance, please contact your local Extension office at the phone number below or email TRAExtension@gmail.com.
