Things going on in W 239-B:

  • Biology, Earth and Environmental Science tutoring- schedule sessions through the Learning Center, but meet in my office
  • Sustainability Club projects
  • After guzzling that water or soda on campus, don't toss the bottle, chuck it in the big can outside my office, and sign up to go on the next recycling center trip
  • Drop off old handouts and 3 ring binders on the table outside my office, and come help out with re-purposing them into notebooks for students
  • Stop in and dig some dirt- students of all majors keep various plant experiments and projects
