The Center for Rural Engagement and School of Public Health-Bloomington are working with community members and stakeholders in understanding and identifying the health needs in Brown County through systematic, data collection and analysis, and leveraging results to help create actionable and sustainable community change. From Fall 2024 through Fall 2025, Rural Scholars attended meetings with community organizations, developed a logic model for the process of the CHNA, provided support for 2 Health and Wellness Expos, and assisted in collecting survey data for the CHNA. Rural Scholars also worked with the Brown County Community Foundation to create a zine that documents the experience of being a student working with community health organizations in rural Indiana.
Accelerate Rural Indiana Arts and Culture Strategic Plan
(Indiana University Center for Rural Engagement, 2026-01-28) Starnes, Adrian; Comentale, Ed; Miller, Jes; Waters, Jeni; Vasconi, Nicole; Westbrook, Stephanie
The ARI Arts and Culture Strategic Plan is a comprehensive, community-driven framework designed to integrate arts, culture, and placemaking as essential components of the region’s long-term prosperity. It builds directly on ARI’s development momentum and elevates creativity as infrastructure—vital to attracting residents, supporting employers, and defining a shared sense of place. This plan’s recommendations will be implemented and advanced by the Accelerate Rural Indiana Regional Development Authority. The ARI READI Steering Committee, ARI Arts & Culture Steering committee—consisting of leadership from: the city/town leadership of the ARI region, HWC Engineering, Batesville Area Arts Commission, Blue River Community Foundation, Economic Development Corporation of Greensburg/Decatur County, the Arts and Cultural Council of Decatur County, and others—will assist with implementation of the plan in partnership and under the purview of the ARI RDA. Beyond the steering committees, many others have dedicated their time to this process and will be involved in its implementation.
Notable Recreational Therapists of the 20th Century
(2026-01-28) Austin, David R
The list of “Notable Recreational Therapists of the 20th Century” was developed by first identifying individuals who obviously warranted being on the list. These individuals were then asked to suggest others who they felt should appear on the list. As a result, a total of thirty-seven individuals were identified as being “Notable Recreational Therapists of the 20th Century.” Eleven were classified as “Early Notable Recreational Therapists of the 20th Century,” while twenty-seven were classified as “Later Notable Recreational Therapists of the 20th Century.” Two individuals added to the list of “Later Notable Recreational Therapists of the 20th Century,” recommended by those previously identified as being notable recreational therapists, were Linda Buettner and Judi Voelkl’s whose lives were shortened by cancer. Of course, there is bound to be disagreement as to who should appear. The selection process employed would seem to be the best means to identify worthy individuals.
Pantheon Mural Poster
(The Indiana University Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture, and Design and the Indiana University Center for Rural Engagement, 2025-08-29) Nelson, Charlee; King, Marilyn
In Vincennes, Indiana, plans were developed for a mural and adjacent seating along the exterior of The Pantheon, a historic 1920s-era theater building. The proposed mural is intended to honor the founding of Vincennes while activating a prominent façade along a well-known downtown landmark. Paired with seating, the design envisions a gathering space that would encourage people to linger, reflect, and connect with the site’s history. Together, these elements aim to enhance the experience of the Pantheon’s exterior while reinforcing its role as a cultural touchstone within the community.
