At-a-glance schedule for Fall 2021
Based on current NC State community standards as well as guest speaker arrangements, we expect the Fall 2021 Geospatial Forum will be a hybrid of in-person and virtual delivery. We continue to monitor the situation and will move to fully virtual if needed. Whether in person or virtual, all forums will be livestreamed during the semester.
