Rescheduled: President's Town Hall: Hearts and Flowers—Let's Celebrate our Panther Pride
We had originally scheduled the second annual edition of the "Hearts and Flowers" President's Town Hall for February 12, to fall in the month sometimes known for the time to give “hearts and flowers,” as well as for the short days of midwinter. We had to postpone the event due to a university closure caused by inclement weather.
The Town Hall has been rescheduled, and will be now held on Friday March 6!
