Rural engagement
The Center for Rural Engagement has announced plans to continue IU’s partnership with Lawrence County. During the pilot year of Sustaining Hoosier Communities, 20 IU Bloomington classes and their community leads launched 15 projects in Lawrence County, including a physical activity campaign for Mitchell promoting healthy opportunities and newly established trails. More than 550 students participated in community projects during the 2017–18 academic year.

Bacterial harpoons
IU scientists have made the first direct observation of a key step in the process that bacteria use to rapidly evolve new traits. The microbe that causes cholera, Vibrio cholera, uses hair-like appendages called pili to catch DNA in the environment. The scientists used a new method invented at IU to “paint” both the pili and DNA fragments with special glowing dyes. Their observation of the “DNA uptake” process could help advance efforts against drug-resistant bacteria.

New food offerings
IU Residential Programs and Services Dining and culinary experts at the Indiana Memorial Union have joined forces to create IU Dining, which now oversees operation of most eateries and catering at the Bloomington campus. Eventually, IMU restaurants will be renovated and replaced with a combination of high-quality IU eateries, like those found at the Bookmark[et] Eatery in the Wells Library or the Goodbody Eatery at Wells Quad, and offerings from local restaurants.
