🦇Intersession mode: ON! As summer winds down, we're sharing important updates to help you prepare for the fall semester. Here's a quick overview:
📚 Libraries will be closed August 10-14 for the annual library inventory. Faculty consultations may be scheduled by emailing [email protected]. Libraries will reopen August 17-21 with limited intersession hours before the fall semester begins.
📱Student Technology Services and the Library's 24/7 chat, databases, guides, and digital resources remain available throughout intersession.
💻 Educational Technology Support will continue virtually during the first week of intersession before returning to normal in-person support the following week.
