The 2013 ATP project at IUP partnered students with the Community Development Committee of the Borough Council of Indiana, PA. The Community Development Committee (a sub-group of Borough Council elected representatives) is responsible for community and economic development initiatives and serves as a liaison between the Borough and other significant community stakeholders, including IUP, the Chamber of Commerce, and nonprofit community development groups such Downtown Indiana and Welcome to Indiana. The central focus of this project was to create an ethnographic walking tour of Indiana, which highlights the unique history and diverse identity of the community, enhances the walkable and bikeable nature of the town, and welcomes students and their families into the community.

The students from IUP who were partnered with the Community Development Committee of the Borough Council of Indiana, PA are from the Applied Anthropology course of Fall 2013. The applied anthropology course is a part of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Department of Anthropology. The majority of the students who were in the course were anthropology majors and anthropology minors. The applied anthropology course was taught and the development of our Appalachian Teaching Project was orchestrated by Dr. Amanda Poole, PhD. The Appalachian Teaching Project will be presented through the Appalachian Regional Commission at the Crystal Marriott at the Reagan National Airport in Arlington, VA on December 6-7, 2013.
