Update due to COVID-19: Please be advised that due to COVID-19, I am primarily working on campus in an isolated setting.  My regular business hours are Monday through Friday, 9 - 5:30 but my availability may be periodically reduced.  Email is the best way to reach me, as are chats through Google Hangouts. If you call my office line and leave a message, voice-mails will be forwarded to my email. Requests for virtual meetings may be sent via Google Calendar - my free/busy info is publicly available.

Please be patient during this time, my email volume is much higher than usual and I am responding in priority order. Questions related to teaching and the needs of students are my top priority followed by assisting staff in the units for which I have responsibility.  Funding, hiring, reimbursements, etc.. are lower down the list.  Thank you and stay well!
