Conference Cancelled Due to Weather Concerns

added February 8th, 2013


I'm very sorry to inform you that Ramapo College is closing today at noon and we must cancel the LGBTQA Leadership Conference. I understand how very disappointing it is to have the conference cancelled twice now and I share your disappointment. I know that many people were looking forward to this conference, but it is more important to keep everyone safe in the hazardous conditions we are expecting.
If you know of someone who planned to attend who did not register please pass this information along to them.

Stay safe and warm all.

-Kat McGee, J.D
Conference Chairperson
