SUMMARY:CANCELLED: October 3 | Meet the Author: John Dinges
DESCRIPTION:Join The Harkin Institute and Beaverdale Books on October 3rd for a powerful conversation on history\, mystery\, and U.S. foreign policy. Author John Dinges will discuss his new book\, Chile in Their Hearts: The Untold Story of Two Americans Who Went Missing after the Coup. The book provides a gripping account of Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi\, two young Americans who lost their lives in Chile during the 1973 military coup. \nThis program will be moderated by Alejandro Hernandez\, former dean of the Zimpleman College of Business at Drake University. \nAbout the Author: John Dinges is an award-winning investigative reporter and author\, who worked in Latin America for many years as a foreign correspondent. After receiving a master’s degree from Stanford University in Latin American studies\, Dinges began freelancing in Chile\, writing mainly for The Washington Post\, during a six-year period that included the socialist revolution of President Salvador Allende\, the violent military coup that overthrew him\, and the first five years of the dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet. He subsequently worked on the foreign desk of The Washington Post\, traveling as a reporter to cover the civil wars in El Salvador\, Guatemala and Nicaragua. From 1985 to 1996 he worked at National Public Radio as deputy senior foreign editor\, managing editor\, and editorial director.

SUMMARY:October 8 | Iowa Waterways Report: Training Session for Viewing Parties
DESCRIPTION:The groundbreaking Central Iowa Source Water Resource Assessment (CISWRA) report provided the most comprehensive and unbiased analysis of water quality in the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers to date\, revealing that agricultural runoff is the primary source of dangerous levels of nitrates and other pollutants. A presentation of this report hosted by The Harkin Institute at Drake University gathered over 600 in-person attendees and was watched by nearly 3\,000 people online. Though the report was focused on Central Iowa\, it has implications for waterways across the state\, as many Iowans are facing challenges posed by the high levels of nitrates and agricultural chemicals in their waterways. \nThe Harkin Institute and Iowa Environmental Council are now providing an opportunity for concerned Iowans to host their own discussions about the CISWRA Report and what it means for their community. Join us for this online training that reviews the contents of the CISWRA presentation\, provides tools for hosting your own viewing\, and describes an overview of a toolkit that has been developed for people interested in hosting their own discussions. \nFor those who can’t attend this training live\, a recording will be available on The Harkin Institute’s YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:October 16 | 2025 Harkin Retirement Security Symposium: Inclusive Long-Term Care Policies and Supports
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Harkin Retirement Security Symposium: Inclusive Long-Term Care Policies and Supports will convene policy-makers\, researchers\, and advocacy organizations working on long-term care policy. The program includes discussions on federal and state policies\,  and workplace policies supporting caregivers\, caregiving experiences and their impact on retirement security\, as well as other resources to support caregivers and their families. \nThe cost of care has nearly doubled from the early 2000s to 2024\, both for at-home care and nursing home care. These costs are out of reach for everyone except the wealthiest households. Long-term care costs are internalized by caregiver families in some combination of the following: diminished or lost earned income\, early retirement\, direct caregiving expenditures\, and mental and physical health issues.  There are a variety of policy options to address this economic burden on families across the income distribution\, which will be discussed as part of the program.

SUMMARY:October 28 | Data in Action: New Findings from the National Training\, Education and Workforce Survey (NTEWS)
