To help grow awareness for Extension and our efforts across the state, we've partnered with The Roberts Group, a licensed university vendor, to launch a new online store with apparel for both our N.C. Cooperative Extension partnership and NC State Extension.
Currently, the store includes a selection of branded Extension apparel, from shirts and jackets to vests and hats. Moving forward this summer, we will incorporate a variety of promotional resources, such as bags, cups, pens, signage, table covers and more.
To order event marketing materials in the meantime, including Extension banner-ups, displays and table covers, visit Signage and Promos.Visit the Extension Online Store
The store is available to Extension employees (campus and county), as well as the public. A university email is not required to register, but you will need to create a user account before using the store. Review the Online Store overview section of our Extension brand site for more details, including guidance on payment methods, reimbursement for new employee Columbia shirts, claiming tax exemption and more.
While local customization (e.g. adding a local center or program name) is available for some apparel items, employees can also place custom orders for a plethora of promotional items directly through The Roberts Group -- contact them to discuss your needs and make order arrangements:
