***POSTPONED*** ETHICS AND SOCIAL WORK CONFERENCE 2020

April 6, 2020 – 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM

*** POSTPONED!*** 

The health and safety of students, faculty, staff and community friends remains UNC Charlotte’s top priority. The University has been monitoring the rapidly evolving situation around coronavirus (COVID-19) and has been working in close collaboration with local and state resources.

After careful thought and consideration, UNC Charlotte has decided to postpone this event. This was not an easy decision, but a necessary one in protecting the health and well-being of our campus community.

We will let you know when the University is able to reschedule this event.
