Will this be virtual?
Please tell us that this event will be recorded and/or streamed so that everyone who cannot attend an in-person event is able to witness James Woodall’s address! If Woodall’s address is only an in-person event, I ask you to advocate for full student, staff and faculty access.
Thanks,
Dr. Kennerly
