Coronavirus Concerns
The organizers (and Lewis & Clark College) have been closely following the status of the Covid-19 outbreak. There have been three confirmed cases in the state of Oregon; further information is available from state and federal public health officials. We have decided to proceed with the seminar, and plan to take a number of precautions. We also recognize that there is a great degree of uncertainty about the risks associated with the outbreak, and encourage each to make their own personal decision regarding traveling at this time.
