More information about the listening sessions research:
The Rural Population Research Network (RPRN) conducted virtual national listening sessions in an effort to identify the issues diverse rural stakeholders see as their top priorities for understanding rural population change.
More than 80 Extension colleagues working with rural people participated in thematic discussions. In this webinar, RPRN researchers involved with this project will share findings from the listening sessions and how these insights are being used to inform future research and Extension endeavors. (RPRN is the USDA-supported multi-state project W5001.)
The February webinar is presented by the North Central Regional Center for Rural Development (NCRCRD) and the Southern Rural Development Center (SRDC). This webinar will be conducted in English. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, please contact Mary Breidenbach at mabreide@purdue.edu no later than 5 days prior to the event.
