Not Sure Who to Talk to?

Students' first point of contact is usually the Program Coordinator or the ADUS serving their class year. For matters requiring DUS approval, such as course substitutions, make an appointment with the Director of Undergraduate Studies. For help or feedback on academic writing, contact the Department Writing Fellow. EAS Newsletter inquiries should be directed to the Program Assistant.
