** Please remember that I am in class most of the day, Monday - Thursday, and in various meetings and ClassConnects on Fridays, and therefore may not be able to get back to you immediately. Email is the preferred method of communication and is checked (and responded to) in the evening Mondays through Thursdays, and throughout the day on Fridays. Voice mails left for me will be answered generally in the evening as well. Thank you for your patience and consideration, as I do have professional duties outside of the classroom and familial obligations as well. **

I'm always available at the LC before 8:45, in Room xxx on xx and xxx. Please feel free to catch me then. I am NOT available in person after either  session.
