Welcome back students! Hope you had a great Holiday break, got some rest, and had some fun. Classes began this week and so I'm sure you are all excited about seeing friends again and finding out who your instructors are and what they have in store for you.
Staying in Touch
- I plan to keep the blog going this semester as before and to post news you can use. I'll provide tips about registration, advising, courses, and information on graduation, careers, and internships. I'm also open to you providing me with announcements you'd like to post. So, if your organization has a meeting you'd like to announce, send me an email with all the information. I usually post at the beginning of the week, so send me the information the weekend before. If you have ideas of other news you'd like to see, drop me an email with your ideas.
- Be sure to check out the bulletin board in the lobby of Craig Hall (next to the Standard box). I'll update it monthly with student/faculty/organization spotlights, as well as a tip of the month. If you have something you'd like me to post there, drop me a line!
- Speaking of feedback, we've recently revised our departmental webpage. Your feedback on this site is important to me, so please take a few moments to review it and drop me a line with your thoughts.
