Dr. Courtney Page-Tan is an Assistant Professor of Public Affairs and Community Resilience at the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at IU Indianapolis.

Dr. Page-Tan is dedicated to cultivating partnerships with practitioners, industry leaders, policy makers, community leaders, and academic institutions to build resilient ecosystems. She leverages her background in social capital, resilience, public policy, information communication technology, and GIS to explain how governments, NGOs, private sector entities, urban planners, and individuals can build resilience. Her research advances knowledge of how online and offline social ties mitigate the adverse outcomes of unexpected shocks and short- and long-term environmental stressors.
