Investing in Indiana: Scholarships & the Future of Learning Panel

Join us for a timely conversation on the future of education and workforce development in Indiana. This interactive panel will bring together higher education leaders, nonprofit founders, and career readiness experts to explore critical questions facing our state:

• Why are college enrollment rates declining in Indiana—and what’s driving the change
• How do employment outcomes compare across STEM, trade, and liberal arts graduates?
• What degrees and pathways are most needed to keep Indiana students of all ages learning, working, and thriving here at home?

This is more than a panel—it’s a chance to connect with peers, share insights, and take part in an important statewide conversation.
