The first Indiana University Rural Conference will engage local leaders, professionals and residents in discussions and sessions focused on the issues of greatest importance to Hoosiers in rural communities on May 13 and 14 at the French Lick Springs Resort.
Hosted by the IU Center for Rural Engagement, the IU Rural Conference sessions will draw upon the work underway through more than 100 initiatives and projects launched in partnership by the center and rural communities, as well as IU's Grand Challenge initiatives and regional and statewide resources and data.
The IU Environmental Resilience Institute will offer an early look at the Hoosier Resilience Index, a tool designed to guide communities toward being prepared for the effects of environmental change on infrastructure.
