Season’s Greetings & Program Advising

Felices Fiestas! Happy Hanukkah! Merry Christmas! Joyous Kwanzaa! Solstice Blessings & Yuletide Greetings to you and your relations for whatever ya’ll may be celebrating this time of year – perhaps simply an upcoming break from school!

I’ll be away December 24th thru January 9th inclusive, returning to work on Monday, January 12th. In my absence, you can continue to email neuroscience@carleton.ca for assistance. My colleague Chaya Porter also provides undergraduate advising, so you don’t have to wait until I’m back to seek guidance. However, if you prefer to meet with me please wait and email on January 12th so we can arrange a time.
