Welcome to the McKimmon Center for Extension & Continuing Education
The McKimmon Center for Extension and Continuing Education (MCE&CE) serves as a gateway to the vast intellectual and technical resources at NC State University. Established in 1924 as the College Extension Division, MCE&CE has continually evolved to meet the educational needs of individuals, organizations, governmental agencies, and corporations. For more than 90 years, MCE&CE has proudly carried on the tradition of public service first established by Jane S. McKimmon, a pioneer in the field of continuing education.
Today, MCE&CE is a center in the truest definition of the word — a hub of activity encompassing a wide array of learning opportunities, professional meeting facilities, and University services. We have served over 231,831 participants at the McKimmon Conference and Training Center during the 2017-2018 fiscal year. During this same time period, the units of the division have provided the continuing education needs of over 42,963 learners. The MCE&CE staff remains dedicated to sharing the University’s knowledge, resources, and providing excellent customer service. Through our partnerships, creative programming, dynamic member opportunities, and a comprehensive range of applied research and technical assistance, you will find the solutions to your continuing education, professional development, meeting facility, and public policy needs.
On behalf of MCE&CE, I am delighted you have chosen to visit our website. Please take a few minutes to review the programs within MCE&CE. We welcome the opportunity to discuss our programs and services while being of assistance to you.

Chip Futrell
