Academic Research Colloquium
5th Annual Academic Research Colloquium
The 5th annual Academic Research Colloquium at the University of Dayton has been canceled due to the evolving and unknown situation with the COVID-19 virus.
While this is not the outcome that any of us wanted to see, the health and safety of the participants and our faculty and staff are of utmost importance.
