Second Point of Distinction
Center for Rural Engagement: Sustaining Hoosier Communities
A brief description of the second program/initiative/accomplishment:
Reimagining the relationship between universities and rural communities, the Center for Rural Engagement calls on the research, expertise, teaching, and service of IU Bloomington faculty, staff, and students to address the challenges Indiana communities face and to enhance opportunities in collaboration with communities. We are leading new pathways to partnerships between non-land-grant, research institutions and rural communities.
Sustaining Hoosier Communities, a program of the Center for Rural Engagement, partners local communities with Indiana University faculty, students, and staff to improve and enrich the health, prosperity, and vitality of our region. Sustaining Hoosier Communities nurture a diversity of individuals and perspectives, fostering a strong social fabric and culture of equitable civic engagement. These communities demonstrate a lasting commitment to their people, economic opportunities, and places. Sustaining Hoosier Communities is based on the community engagement model championed by the Educational Partnerships for Innovation in Community Network (EPIC-N), which universities across the nation have adopted, called The EPIC Model.
