Meet Caleb Twiggs

The Extension Learning Technologies (ELT) team has recently had some staff changes. In November after 13 years of working in Extension Melissa Pierce accepted a new position outside of the University and just a couple of weeks ago Terri Ebert also left Extension. We were so sad to see them go!

In December we welcomed Caleb, Extension’s new web developer. Caleb will be working on the function and security of Extension's websites as a Drupal developer. You can learn more about Caleb below.

Here’s a recent photo of our team using a Zoom immersive view background.
