Hello Nathaniel,

 

This is of course disappointing that we cannot hold HamSCI as originally scheduled, but you are doing the right thing for sure to help protect everybody.  We all understand and know you and others have put a lot of time and effort into this, and this is really appreciated.  I am sure this will help to make it even better for next year.  

 

By the way, Penn State just announced today that it is telling students not to come to class next Monday on, and everything will be online now.  They told all the students to stay home and not come back since we are on Spring Break this week.

 

I heard that many universities are taking the same actions all around the country.

 

We all know that HamSCI will even be better next year.

Dear HamSCI Community,

 

I have some difficult news to share with you. As of March 11, 2020, we have continued to monitor the coronavirus situation and find that it is no longer feasible to hold an in-person HamSCI workshop this year. This has been a very difficult decision to make, as a tremendous amount of planning and effort by many people have gone into preparing for the workshop. We will refund all registrations for this event. Please take this time to cancel any travel arrangements you may have made to attend the workshop. If the University of Scranton has made arrangements for you, we will cancel them for you and be in touch with you regarding the situation.

The Science/Program Committee is discussing over the next few days the best alternative plans for the HamSCI workshop. This may mean a form all-electronic meeting using teleconference/webinar services. I will send out another e-mail over the next few days with updates on this. I will also be keeping hamsci.org/hamsci2020 up-to-date.

Thank you for all of your support! We will figure out the best way to keep everything going!
