IU Northwest Bicentennial

Community Engagement Celebration

April 23, 2019

In collaboration with the Indiana University Office of the Bicentennial, IU Northwest will host a Community Engagement Celebration on Tuesday, April 23, with activities occurring from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at various locations within the Savannah Center. For details, see the Schedule of Events.

The Celebration, which is free and open to the public, is part of IU Northwest’s observance of IU’s Bicentennial, a multi-year, multi-campus program to recognize and chronicle IU history, showcase the university’s significant contributions to the world, and set a course for the next century.

The Celebration will include a welcome by the Chancellor, keynote speaker, Dr. Angela Johnson-Wells, performances by the South Shore Dance Alliance, and presentations by faculty and/or community partners. The Celebration will also serve as the official launch for Collaboratory, a publicly accessible, cloud-based software for documenting community engagement activities.
