The ODP's Supportive Technology Open House scheduled on August 6, 2024 hosted on Temple University’s campus is being rescheduled. It was recently shared that a presidential candidate will be holding a rally on Temple's campus that day, which will cause disruptions with crowds, traffic, parking, and public transportation in the area. For those reasons, ODP has made the decision to postpone this event until a later date. Stakeholders will be notified once the new date and time have been scheduled.
