Drop-Ins | Spring 2024 Semester 

Drop-ins will resume on January 22nd for the spring semester, but we still offer scheduled in-person or Zoom meetings. Please use the link above. 

Drop-in meetings are offered during the Fall and Spring academic semesters for quick questions. These meetings are typically 15 minutes or less.  If you think you need more than 15 minutes, we recommend that you make an appointment with your advisor.
