Does the institution offer programs or conduct research that serves children and/or families in their community?

Justin Morrill is the Father of Land Grant Institutions and the driving force behind the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890. More than 150 years ago, Morrill had a vision that the nation would be more prosperous if it provided opportunities for education to underrepresented citizens. Because of his vision, today many states have 1890 Land-Grant Universities.
In a 2-4 page paper, describe the ways in which Morrills vision contributed to growth in higher education and its place in the history of family studies. Be sure to address the following:
Do you believe his vision is still relevant today and why?
Conduct additional research on the first land grant in a state other than New York. Locate and analyze the colleges mission and vision statements.
Do the statements contain language consistent with the original premise of land grants? Give examples.
Does the institution offer programs or conduct research that serves children and/or families in their community? Describe these programs/projects.
