Coronavirus Update

Updated April 2, 2020

Given the current COVID 19 situation in our state and nation and the uncertainty about improvements, all programs and events are canceled, postponed, or changed to virtual participation until July 31, 2020. This does include all IU-sponsored on-campus, third-party on-campus, and IU-sponsored off-campus conferences, workshops, camps, events, and symposia scheduled to be in-person. We will continue to monitor the rapidly changing situation with the novel coronavirus COVID-19 and post updates regarding future events, programs, and services, and any necessary schedule changes on our website.
