ICCS Conference

We sincerely regret that we have had to postpone the Ninth Annual Innovations in Clinical Communication Sciences Conference (ICCS) be scheduled for September 26-28, 2008. Unfortunately, the University changed its Fall Semester calendar with limited advance notice to us, which resulted in considerable planning problems and finding workable alternative dates. We apologize for any inconvenience that this creates for those intending to attend.

We hope that you’ll continue to watch this space for information about our next conference. We look forward to seeing you then.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at iccs@jmu.edu
