Reminder; today begins the third and last days of panels, lectures, and discussions
around Cuba, pandemic, and the regional situation in the Caribbean and
Latin America as part of Cuba from the Castros to COVID: An ASCE Virtual Conference, 13-15 August 2020. Registration is free and space is still available for additional registrants.
Today's
Program includes what should be a lively roundtable discussion on the issues of currency reform developments in Cuba. In the afternoon ASCE is proud to present one of the highlights of the Conference, three quite fascinating student papers. The Conference will be closed by ASCE's incoming President, Gary Maybarduk (all times US East Coast Time).
