2017 Fall Undergraduate Conference - November 30, 2017 - Cancellation

 

​​​​​Hello everyone,

 

I am writing to let you know that due to lack of confirmations for student presentations, we will be cancelling the 2017 Fall Undergraduate Conference scheduled to take place at the Halpern Centre, Burnaby, on November 30, 2017. The PSU is still committed to working towards publication of the third issue of the Simon Fraser University Undergraduate Journal of Philosophy with the papers submitted to the conference this semester. Authors of the papers will be contacted regarding revisions to their submissions. 

 

If you have any questions, or require any further information, please feel free to contact me. We apologize for any inconvenience to those who had planned to speak, or attend on the 30th. Thank you for your participation and your attention to this matter.

 

 

Yours truly,

Karen Abramson
