Rural Futures Conference, Nov 3-5 in Lincoln, Nebraska

[Announcement from Comm-engagedscholarship]



Dear community-engaged scholarship colleagues,

The 2013 Rural Futures Conference takes place November 3-5, 2013 in Lincoln, Nebraska and is hosted by the Rural Futures Institute at the University of Nebraska.  Building upon the strengths and assets in rural Nebraska, the Great Plains, and globally, the RFI, through a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, aims to mobilize the resources and talents of the University of Nebraska and its partners, including community partners, to create knowledge and action that supports rural people and places to achieve unique paths to their desired futures.

The theme for the 2013 Rural Futures Conference–Beyond Boundaries– encourages all of us to step beyond our boundaries and work together to create positive rural futures.  While moving beyond boundaries can be challenging and even ominous, it also offers a unique opportunity to implement a foundation of collaboration that can impact the future of rural people and places.  The upcoming conference will celebrate the importance of rural and create energy and enthusiasm for new and innovative ways to address complex opportunities and challenges.  From University faculty, staff and students to community citizens and organizational partners, don’t miss the opportunity to transcend boundaries and collaboratively make a difference.
