Office Hours

English Department building B51, office 255

To reach me, look for Riverview, SCSU's landmark building, with its white cupola hovering above the Mississippi River. The English Department has moved to the former Business Building, across the H parking lot from Riverview. If you are coming from the Atwood Student Center, the English building is located behind Stewart Hall, so enter Stewart and look for the doorway just past the elevators, which will take you to the courtyard behind Stewart, where you can see our new building.
