Only two days left in the spring semester!! I hope you can take a break before having to study for finals. As you are leaving for the summer, please be safe and enjoy your break.
Remember that the Dyson Office of Student Services and Advising and other support offices are open throughout the summer for appointments to answer questions, plan for future semesters, or discuss any concerns.
Good luck on your final assignments, projects, or exams. Congratulations to our Dyson Graduates! We look forward to celebrating with you in a couple of weeks.
Enjoy your summer!!
