The Indiana University Center for Rural Engagement will hold its fourth annual IU Rural Conference on May 12 and 13, convening rural residents and leaders from across the state and IU faculty, staff and students at French Lick Resort Conference Center.
The conference will open May 12 with remarks from IU Bloomington Provost and Executive Vice President Rahul Shrivastav. A conversation with Gov. Eric Holcomb and IU Center for Rural Engagement Executive Director Kerry Thomson will follow, with a focus on Indiana's rural opportunities and Holcomb's 2022 Next Level Agenda, including the READI initiative and community connectivity. "This is a pivotal time for our state as we forge a path beyond the pandemic and its devastating effects," Thomson said. "When our communities, organizations, higher education institutions and our state join together to tackle our greatest issues -- including access to care, substance use disorder, housing and community resilience -- we can build a stronger future together. The IU Rural Conference creates a springboard for these efforts."
