Economic Engagement

Contributing to rural and regional excellence

Economic Engagement and the Office of the Provost at IU Bloomington are working together to enhance collaboration with stakeholders in southwest central Indiana in order to address persistent and emerging social challenges. The goal of the initiative is to materially improve the lives of people living in these counties and to demonstrate an innovative approach to leveraging a research university’s resources to improve the prosperity of a region.
