Here on campus, we were fortunate to get about a week of full autumn color and mild weather before winter started arriving, and the semester is in full swing. There are only a few weeks left before finals, so be sure to take advantage of everything happening on campus!

Advising Continues

Do you still need advising for Spring 2022? Dr. Oyen still has appointments available! Start by filling out this Google Form.

Remember: you do not need to sign up for classes right away after your advising appointment. As long as you have met with your advisor, you can register at any time. Please let us know if you have any questions.
