Hi everyone,
I know this upcoming week is full of prelims and other assignments, but the payoff is Spring Break starts Friday. I hope you all enjoy and find time to relax whether you are heading out of town or staying in Ithaca.
The Office of Student Services and Advising will be open throughout Spring Break. With that being said, throughout the month of April there will be construction affecting the main office (B34) as well as Gretchen, Renee, and Reid's offices. If you have an advising appointment, proceed to Warren B34 and you will find updated office locations posted each day. Thank you for understanding!
Good luck with any prelims or assignments due this week!

Director, Dyson Office of Student Services & Advising
