Sociology Faculty and Staff
Committed to Students
The faculty and staff put students first. We are here to answer questions about courses and career paths for majors, minors, and certificate students. By offering drop-in hours both in person and online, we support your progress in our courses. We provide advice on career directions and possibilities for graduate school.

Drop-In Hours: Tuesdays 1–2, Wednesdays 11 am–12 pm. Available M–F in person, or virtually by appointment.

Meet with me during Student Hours. These are drop-in times so you don't need to make an appointment:
Tuesday and Thursday 2-3pm
If these times don't work for you, send me an email and let's set up an appointment.
