2021 Indicators Program A collaboration among Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, Johnson College, Keystone College, King’s College, Lackawanna College, Luzerne County Community College, Marywood University, Misericordia University, Penn State Scranton, Penn State Wilkes-Barre, The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education, University of Scranton & Wilkes University 2021 Lackawanna & Luzerne Indicators Forum 2021 Welcome! The Institute was founded on the belief that good decisions are driven by good data. Since 2004, it has been our mission to serve organizations and communities by providing empirical, objective re- search that drives discussion and informs action. For over a decade, Institute data and research on a wide range of topics have helped policymakers and community leaders from the public, private, and non-profit sectors understand and address some of the region’s biggest challenges. The annual Indicators Forum is our opportunity to share this data and research. Conversation from past Indicators events has been a driving force behind many economic and community revitalization initiatives that produce positive outcomes in Northeast Pennsylvania. It is our desire that the information in this year’s program will provoke thought and discussion that reveal new priorities and continue to advance our region.

Community-based research funding supports the Indicators Initiative, Task Force research, the Quarterly Eco- nomic Tracker, Special Research Projects, the College Student Poll, and the Institute’s Internship Program. The Institute also launched a special COVID-19 research program called Institute Insights on COVID-19, which has led to a series of additional research studies focused on the pandemic’s impacts on the region. Your willingness to help brings meaningful change to our communities! We would like to take this opportunity to extend a heartfelt thanks to our generous network of supporters, who care deeply about the future of the region they call home. Our work would not be possible without the energy and expertise of our academic and research partners, stakeholders, advisory board members, task force teams, and clients who entrust us to propose solutions and create opportunities. Our successes are your successes. Your commitment ensures that data and research will continue to fuel decisions that facilitate greater economic vitality for Northeast Pennsylvania.

Thank you Frank. Your leadership, guidance and support has helped The Institute reach new heights! When Fr. Pilarz served his first term as President of the University of Scranton, he welcomed the initial founding members of The Institute, Dr. Tim Gilmour and Bill Sordoni, Sr. into his offices along with Teri Ooms to learn about the Joint Urban Studies Center (JUSC). He was eager to learn about the community initiative, opportunities for Scranton students, and the chance to be part of a new regional initiative between higher education & business. Not only did he commit the University of Scranton as an Academic Partner, but he invited his peer Presidents from all of the Lackawanna County higher education institutions to hear about it and encourage them to join! Thank you Fr. Pilarz, you are deeply missed by your NEPA family.
