Sept. 29 and 30, the Indiana University Rural Conference will bring together rural residents and leaders with IU faculty, researchers, staff and students in a virtual forum to address some of Indiana's greatest challenges and opportunities.
Hosted by the IU Center for Rural Engagement, the IU Rural Conference will include 15 breakout sessions on topics including health, quality of place, housing, the arts and community resilience. The two-day conference will also feature keynote remarks from Hancock Health's president and CEO Steve Long, IU Bloomington Provost Lauren Robel, and Minnesota-based Art of the Rural executive director Matthew Fluharty.
The IU Environmental Resilience Institute will share the Hoosier Resilience Index Readiness Assessment, which will help participants prioritize response actions to make their communities more resilient to storms, floods, droughts and increasing temperatures.
