Welcome to a new semester.  As always, please let me know if I can be of any assistance.  My normal office hours are:
Tuesday  (1:30 – 3:00 p.m.)
Wednesday  (12:00 – 1:30 p.m.)
Thursday  (1:30 – 3:00 p.m.)
My office is located in Room 1703, Engineering Building.  My phone number is (703) 993-4835

However, I am available by appointment in the late afternoon and early evening.  Just send me a few dates and times that you are available.  I will be around on Sept 13th for a graduate showcase event 5:30-7:30 pm.  So, I can meet with you either before or after that event.

Also I want to let you know about free training for learning SAS.  Here is a link to free training available to anyone:
