In Newtown, 20 children and six adults were fatally wounded Friday by a 20-year-old lone gunman during a shooting spree at an elementary school.
The Academic Affairs Department is the sponsoring organization for the forum.
The community forum offers a way for local residents to process what took place in Newtown, organizer Carol Steele said.
It is also seen as a forum for exploring the societal challenges that impact us here in rural Indiana. How do we individually and collectively respond?
The event is free and open to the public.
