Office Hours
We understand that accessibility is an important component of academic support. Like everyone, we stay on top of emails and phone calls, but SASS Leaders have committed to consistent office hours to offer more accessibility. Our office hours allow us to replicate the normalcy of being able to "drop-in" and ask us questions, get help, discuss an idea, or even just see a smiling face. We are here to help and look forward to seeing you soon.
Drop into my office hours if you have any questions about Student Academic Support Services or the First Year Experience. This includes program partnerships, retention initiatives, and the use of TCLAW Predictive Analytics Software.
Tuesday and Wednesday
