Drop by our office! Our office is a great place to hook up with other majors, minors, faculty and staff. We have a comfortable space with couches, chairs, and a meeting space for brown-bag lunches and informal conversation. The office is also a wonderful resource for information you might need concerning your academic and personal life.
