Reaching Out

Patty Skinkis’ online and on-campus viticulture class for college students and people in the the wine industry.  Since 2008, Skinkis has been simultaneously offering the upper-division, 10-week course on campus and online so she can reach two audiences at once. Skinkis is not only a professor and researcher, she’s also the statewide viticulturist with the OSU Extension Service. When wearing the Extension hat, her job is to educate and help professionals at Oregon’s 849 vineyards and 315 grape-crushing wineries. But she can’t spend all her time on the road, so this class means she doesn’t have to gas up the car as much. (Read story by Tiffany Woods)
