Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates

Dear Campus and Community,

The Center for Urban and Regional Excellence (CURE) extends our wishes for your good health and safety. This is a time of adjustment for all of us, but we want you to know that CURE continues to work to build partnerships between the campus and the community. At this time, the health and safety of our community is of highest priority. As a result, we are evaluating our programs and have made changes due to the circumstances.

Below are the changes that we are implementing at this time:

  • Senior University: All previously scheduled Senior University spring workshops will be postponed until further notice. Programming will resume once it is determined to be safe for all involved.
  • Scheduled Meetings: We are moving in-person meetings with partners to virtual meetings. If you have a meeting scheduled with CURE in upcoming weeks, we will be contacting you with additional information.

These changes are being made in accordance with IU Northwest and Indiana University policy. Please visit the main IU Northwest webpage for current information.

In the meantime, we encourage you to remain engaged in the following ways:

Explore online, non-credit learning opportunities in a variety of areas, including building your job skills (business, computers, construction and trades, legal and more) and discovering new interests (arts, health and fitness, languages etc.) by visiting our Adult Education webpage.
