ARENI
American Resilience & Equity Networks Initiative (ARENI)
About ARENI
As our nation rebuilds from the multiple crises of the past two years, regions are setting new priorities, meeting evolving challenges, and making investments that will impact generations to come. We have witnessed and learned the importance of working toward economic equity and building economic resilience within our regions.
The American Resilience & Equity Networks Initiative (ARENI) offers higher education institutions (HEIs) a structure for collaboration on resilience and equity issues and EDA’s University Centers. ARENI will provide regular convenings, online forums, and resource libraries. ARENI will gather information about how HEIs are approaching their equity and resilience efforts. The ARENI Advisory Council will evaluate these methods and elevate those that are original, scalable, sustainable, impactful, and replicable in other regions, making the approaches and their results widely available to the ARENI network.
