Hoosier to Hoosier Community Sale
Hoosier to Hoosier is a partnership between the United Way of Monroe County, Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County, the City of Bloomington, IU Athletics, the IU Office of Sustainability, and IU Residential Programs and Services.
The sale is a reuse program that aims to 1) to divert reusable items generated during the student move-out from the landfill, 2) to prevent additional resource consumption by selling collected items to students and community members in order to 3) raise funds for local charities and other organizations.
The program allows students to donate reusable items, and also help out their neighbors in need at the same time. Aside from a small percentage that will be set aside for administrative costs associated with the second H2H next year, all proceeds from the sale will benefit United Way and Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- A new laser-equipped microscope at IU Bloomington's Light Microscopy Imaging Center makes it possible to examine biological samples with unprecedented detail in three dimensions.

"It's a fantastic and unique acquisition for our university," said cell biologist Claire Walczak, the Imaging Center's executive director. "This super-resolution microscope, one of only 16 in the world and one of only 8 commercial units, is part of our vision to bring state-of-the-art technology to IU's life science researchers, to enable them to address questions that they did not have the ability to ask previously, due to the lack of appropriate technologies."
