All registration fees will be refunded. Conference registrants should watch their email for more information. Thank you for your support of the Nelson Institute and your flexibility as we navigate these challenging times. Questions should be directed to Emily Reynolds, assistant director, Community Engagement and Alumni Relations, at ereynolds2@wisc.edu.
