The CSU Landd-Grant mission focuses on delivering research, teaching, and extension services to the people of the State of Ohio. The US Census reveals that more than 1.7 million Ohioans live in poverty - approximately 15.8% of the state. The Central State University 1890 Land-Grant program addresses the needs of socially disadvantaged, limited-resourced, and under-served Ohioans through four program areas that include Agriculture and Natural Resources, Community and Economic Development, Family and Consumer Sciences, and 4-H Youth Development.
