IMPORTANT: Public Health Research Day, April 8 - Cancelled
Dear Colleagues,
As we continue to grapple with the consequences associated with the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, the risk/benefit ratio for potential crowd participation must be carefully considered. Many events at GW have been cancelled and/or rescheduled and reflecting on the utmost consideration for our participating presenters, speakers, and guests, it is in the best interest of all to not carry on with planning or hosting this year’s Public Health Research Day event on 8 April 2020. Cancellation of this event is a recognition of the coordinated response of GW to the pandemic - and we thank everyone, especially from the 3 schools (GWSPH, GWSMHS, GWSON) for their engagement thus far.
Please stay safe and Healthy!
