Hello Geology Majors,
I hope that final exam week has started well for you and that you have structured your exam preparation to keep your stress level low. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns about how your spring classes are ending and the impact on your future plans.
Congratulations to everyone graduating on Saturday! The past year has been a challenging time, but you have made it to the finish line in spite of it. Good luck and best wishes on your next steps!
The end of the semester is a good time for reflection. As you reread your course syllabi to prepare for final exams, review the objectives for the course. It will help you focus on what is important to the professor. Think also, about what is important for you. Consider educational and career goals. Are you developing the skills and knowledge you will need for your future? What experiences would help you distinguish yourself from other students when you graduate? Professor Kettler and I would be glad to help with your reflection, so please do not hesitate to contact us.
Did you miss priority registration for the Fall 2021 semester? There is still plenty of time to enroll in classes for the upcoming summer and fall semesters. I am still available for both meetings and drop-in advising, so please do not hesitate to see me.
Best wishes, Doug

Summer 2021 Geology Advising
All academic advising for the Summer 2021 semester 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 spring semester. Even though advising will continue to be virtual, we will do everything we can to support you for the summer semester.

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.
