Remember, just because you all leave town doesn't mean that we close down shop! The SPEA Undergraduate Programs and Advising Office remains open all summer long, with normal operating hours. We're happy to continue to schedule appointments, and, if you're away for the summer, can arrange for phone or Skype appointments to address advising needs.
The only changes for the summer months? We do not have walk-in hours--advising is by appointment only. Also, please be aware that many of our advisors are assisting in overseas programs, helping future SPEAons at orientation advising, or taking time for vacation during the summer--so please be flexible with our staff. Thanks!

Winter Weather...
Here in the SPEA Undergraduate Programs and Advising Office, we try to be available to you, our students, as much as possible. However, winter weather conditions--especially poor road conditions--sometimes make this impossible. We'll do our best to alert you as soon as possible if we have to cancel. You can help us with this by watching your email, and, if you have an appointment scheduled during a winter storm, check your email before coming in.
Walk-ins have been cancelled for this afternoon. Tomorrow's walk-ins are tentatively on the schedule, but please watch your email for updates.
The Happy Dancing Snowflake thanks you.
