I am happy to schedule other virtual or in-person office hours on campus, by appointment and at a time that works for both of us!

Communication and Interaction Policy

Please contact me whenever you have a question, comment, or challenge--I am here to help and support! Email is the best way to get ahold of me, but I am happy to come visit you in my office! I am teaching online only this semester, so I will only be on campus sporadically--but always happy to make a specific meeting that works with your on-campus schedule.
