After thirty-three years as an agri-science teacher at Nonnewaug High School in Woodbury, William Davenport has found his way back to his early grounding in 4-H. On July 5, he began work as assistant extension educator in charge of 4-H programing in Litchfield County. Davenport is a graduate of the College, having earned bachelor of science and master of science degrees in animal science, then sixth year in administration and supervision at Southern Connecticut State University.
“We are pleased to have Bill join the Extension team as an accomplished agri-science educator who brings a wealth of experience in STEM, agricultural literacy and leadership development,” says Bonnie Burr, assistant director of UConn Extension. “Bill will be carrying out programs with the county’s 929 youth ages 5-19 and eighty-nine enrolled/trained volunteers. He will also be developing and implementing statewide 4-H livestock-related programs.”
