Hello Geology Majors,
As always, I hope that things are continuing to go well for you as the semester rolls along. We are currently in the 7th week of the semester, so this week and next week are the half way point of the semester outside of Final Exam Week. I know that you are likely getting a little tired at this point, and you may be worried since we don't have any vacations until the semester ends. If you haven't built time into your daily and weekly schedule for yourself, I strongly encourage you to do so. I would also encourage you to be mindful of your connection to others as the semester continues as we are all in this together, and I strongly believe that it is more difficult to complete this semester alone.
The overall number of student meetings that I have had over the past couple of weeks has been down. I know that you are all very busy, but please do not procrastinate on your future planning. I cannot meet with all of you at the same time, so I need each of you to make your plans early. I also want to meet with you for an appointment or a drop-in meeting rather than communicating with you via email, so again I want to encourage you to schedule a meeting with me well before the start of Priority Registration for the Fall 2021 semester.

Spring 2021 Geology Advising
All academic advising for the Spring 2021 season will be completed virtually. This means that all advising meetings and interactions will be conducted on Zoom, over the phone, or via email. Doug and Professor Kettler are available to meet your academic advising needs, and we look forward to meeting with you and working with you throughout the fall semester. Even though advising will continue to be virtual, we will do everything we can to support you for the winter season.
Due to social distancing even if Doug and Professor Kettler are in their offices, you will need schedule an advising appointment that will be conducted via Zoom, phone, or email or join drop-in advising on Zoom. If an in-person meeting is absolutely required, arrangements will need to be made well in advance so we can accommodate social distancing in the meeting.
Doug’s advising hours will be:
Appointments – 8:30 am to 4:30 pm every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday
Appointments – 8:30 am to 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm every Wednesday and Friday
