SUMMARY:April 16 | Harkin On Wellness Symposium 2025: The Future of Clean Water
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Harkin On Wellness Symposium will take place on April 16\, 2025\, focusing on the Future of Clean Water. This year’s theme was chosen to highlight and synthesize the progress being made around the country in protecting and improving water quality through community engagement\, environmental education\, watershed protection\, water conservation initiatives\, and innovative water quality monitoring programs. \nClean water is fundamental to public health and environmental sustainability and is increasingly under threat from climate change and other human-caused risks. Community-based initiatives that protect and improve water quality have been shown to have lasting\, positive impacts on both human and environmental health. Furthermore\, programs that engage communities in hands-on water quality improvement and conservation can foster environmental stewardship that benefits current and future generations. \nThis year’s event will recognize groups working to preserve clean water\, including nonprofit organizations\, environmental groups\, and community organizations\, for the tremendous role they play in protecting this vital resource.

SUMMARY:February 20 | Spring 25 Sussman Lecture: Students Are Humans First with Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab
DESCRIPTION:The Harkin Institute is thrilled to announce this Fall’s Sussman Lecture\, “Students Are Humans First” with Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab. Dr. Goldrick-Rab will discuss the challenges students face in meeting their basic needs while earning a college education. She explored this topic in her award-winning book\, Paying the Price: College Costs\, Financial Aid\, and the Betrayal of the American Dream. The book documents the failures of policymakers and higher education institutions to make college affordable. Her scientific studies identifying and addressing college students’ basic needs for food\, housing\, childcare\, transportation\, and health supports sparked the internationally-known #RealCollege movement and inspired federal and state data collection and legislation\, as well as countless privately-funded programs. \nFind more information by clicking here.
