Other than the Professional Development Program and the Career Fair listed above, the rest of the Industrial Affiliates Symposium is canceled.

Cancellation of the 2020 CREOL Industrial Affiliates Event:

After discussions with our university administration regarding coronavirus/COVID-19, we have reluctantly decided that we need to cancel the 2020 CREOL Industrial Affiliates Event scheduled for the end of this week.

The exceptions are the Professional Development Program, held on Wednesday and Career Fair, scheduled for Thursday morning, which will proceed as planned for those who wish to attend. The Spring Thing event on Saturday is also cancelled.

I apologize for the short notice of this cancellation, but as everyone may be aware, things have been moving quite quickly in the past week. I do hope that we will be able to have our invited speakers visit CREOL later, after the threat of the coronavirus has subsided. We will announce plans for rescheduling a few key items later in the year and we will notify everyone as plans are made.

I apologize for the inconvenience caused and hope that you will understand that, until today, we had hoped to continue with the event.
Thanks for your continued support of CREOL!

Pegasus Professor and Interim Dean
