This convening is open to all invitees who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.

 

Sponsoring an event does not constitute an endorsement of any speaker’s views or statements by CEERES or The Pearson Institute. Free expression is a core value of the University of Chicago. We welcome a diversity of viewpoints and seek to empower students and our community to engage with challenging ideas.
