Research Administrators' Symposium
Regrettably, given the current state of affairs, we have decided to postpone the 2025 Research Administrators’ Symposium originally scheduled for March 12th and 13th. Changes to federal rules and regulations will likely affect campus-based research and how we administer it so in the meantime all agree that postponement is the most prudent course of action.
We deeply appreciate your interest in attending and look forward to gathering in the future. A special thank you goes out to the symposium design team, our sponsors, speakers, and volunteers for their time, effort, and dedication in preparing for this event. We recognize the commitment this requires and are truly grateful to be part of a community so focused on service, excellence, and growth. Once we have more clarity on a new timeline for the symposium, we will notify you promptly.
Registrants will receive a notification via the Whova event app confirming that your registration has been canceled. If you reserved your hotel using the symposium group code, we will cancel your reservation. If you booked without the symposium group code, you will need to cancel your reservation.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we navigate these changes together.
Warm regards,
Lisa Gilroy | Sharon Sealy | Scott Shurtleff | Kathleen Caggiano-Siino
