UNCG’s Science Fiction Fantasy Federation has announced that they will not hold StellarCon in 2014. The convention, the longest running con in North Carolina, has decided to use the 2013-2014 academic year as a time to restructure and reorganize in an attempt to attracts new people. They further decided that a labor intensive convention would get in the way of their long term goals. The current plan is to hold StellarCon 38 during the 2014-2015 academic year. StellarCon is sponsored by the University of North Carolina, Greenboro.
