Good Morning Lenore,
I am interested in the Univ 400 class. I was also going to contact you because in my BIS 300 class tonight, my instructor told me that I needed to meet with an advisor ASAP! We are moving into setting up our submissions to the BIS for our concentrations, etc and I need to meet with the advisor for my "salmon sheet" and also set up my Mentor. Can you help me with this? Do they ever schedule appointments after normal business hours or on week-ends? If not, then I would like to set this up on Tuesday afternoon.
Thanks for your help!
Mona Neely
