The 2020 Tri-State Conference on Diversity & Inclusion Has Been Canceled
Dear Friends,
After continued monitoring of the evolving developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, in consultation with local officials, and in collaboration with all seven institutional partners, the Conference Planning Committee has made the decision to cancel the 2020 Tri-State Conference on Diversity and Inclusion scheduled for September 25. This decision was not reached lightly, and numerous scenarios were examined closely. But, in the interest of public health, coupled with so many uncertainties in the weeks and months ahead, the committee felt compelled to make this difficult and unfortunate decision.
Although this is a great disappointment, the health and safety of each and every member of our community and our team is of the utmost importance to us. We will use our disappointment to fuel our planning for next year’s conference.
Mark your calendars:
Ohio University Southern will host the conference in September 2021.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at pleasanr@ohio.edu
Take care and be safe,
Robert Pleasant
