In Person & Virtual Office Hours

This semester we’re excited to be back on campus, but we’re also glad to set up virtual meetings. Our team have hours each week that we are holding on our calendars as time to catch up in person, or to talk by Zoom or over the phone if you prefer. Pick a time to come by to chat.

If none of these times work for you can always email us to set up a time that fits with your schedule, we are always flexible and willing to find time to meet!
