Events postponed or cancelled through May 14

Due to concerns about COVID-19 caused by the coronavirus, The Division of University Advancement at The Catholic University of America has made the decision to cancel or indefinitely postpone in-person events sponsored by University Advancement and the Alumni Association — including some school-based events which we had promoted — through May 14. These events are:

• March 16, 2020: Gratus: A Celebration of Benefactors and Friends
• March 17, 2020: TRS The End of the Dark Ages lecture by Mark Clark
• March 18, 2020: School of Arts and Sciences Life as Vocation lecture series

• April 18, 2020: Athletics Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
• May 6, 2020: St. Thomas Aquinas Society Luncheon

We made these decisions to safeguard the health of our guests and our on-campus community in conjunction with the University’s decision to move to online instruction for students through the end of the term. 

Please be assured that we will continue to evaluate this ongoing situation. Any additional postponements or cancellations of future events will be communicated as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding, and for your continued support of Catholic University.
