Announcement:
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, and under guidance from the University of Pennsylvania, we deeply regret to announce that the 2020 Penn Symposium has been cancelled.
We will work with Penn Center for EAS to find out about if we may have this symposium in May 2021. If that is feasible, we will meet in 2021, to see and hear those winners presenting their fabulous CFL teaching.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this decision, but your health and safety are of utmost importance at this time. Thank you very much for your understanding and support.
