For the health and safety of our communities, the University of Maryland Extension will extend the suspension of all in-person MG and 4-H events, practices, club meetings, and programs through May 31, 2020. All time frames will continue to be re-evaluated as we receive new information and directives from government and health officials, as well as UMD campus administration.
