JIU Festival 2020
Unfortunately the JIU Festival this year was canceled because of the situation regarding the corona virus. According to the academic schedule, November 2 was going to be the clean-up day and therefore all classes were canceled. I am here today and the campus is very quiet. Fortunately some students showed up and my office looks very lively now.
