PLEASE NOTE: We are not yet able to announce a 2021 events calendar, as that will be determined by the progression of the current public health crisis and the reopening process of our campus. When standards from the university, government and health officials have been created to indicate that planning for major events can take place new dates will be announced. Once a decision is made, it will be updated on our website.
