Hours
Generally speaking, I get to my office between 10:30-11:00am and leave 6:30-7:00pm daily (except Fridays when I will leave earlier). My office door is usually open. If it is open that means I am available and want to meet with students at that time. If it is closed, I am either not in the office, on a Zoom call, or meeting with someone and unavailable. If you want to have a dedicated time with me and insure I will be in the office and available, send me an email to confirm the appointment.
