Chico Forensic Conference

Hi all, Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we have decided that the Chico Forensic Conference will not be held this fall. As of right now, we are considering options to possibly host the conference during the spring over Zoom. Therefore, you should all expect a formal announcement on whether or not there will be a revised date for the spring 2021 Chico Forensic Conference in the coming weeks ahead.
