UNCSA has made the difficult decision to suspend in-person classes for the remainder of the spring semester, moving students to a 100% online format. This decision, in conjunction with restrictions on large gatherings, means that student events and performances for the rest of the semester are effectively canceled.
Given these circumstances and after much consideration, we have made the decision to cancel NextNow 2020, previously scheduled for April 25.
You’ve watched them grow. Now see them emerge. Celebrate the next generation of artists and creative innovators at UNCSA’s annual NextNow event, benefitting student scholarships.
An exciting evening infused with the creative spirit of UNCSA, NextNow includes a dynamic performance that demonstrates the impact of your support followed by an exclusive cocktail soirée with the next generation of artists and creative innovators.
Such a great night enjoyed by all! What a treasure UNCSA is in Winston-Salem!
