Faculty and Staff

Part of the college experience is getting to know your professors. Make a point of stopping in during their office hours (posted on their office door and on the course syllabus). Talking with your professors can lead to increased learning and possibly a better letter of recommendation when the time comes to apply to graduate school or for a job.
