Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions members of the public are not currently allowed visitation in the Lewis and Clark Center, nor can the attendees bring food or drinks into the auditorium. Attendance will be restricted to Army University/CGSC faculty, staff and students. For those unable to attend, the presentation will be videotaped and later posted on the Foundation’s website, YouTube channel and Facebook page.
