Professionalism We are here to provide resources and support and advocatefor you as needed. Reading emails is part of your job as a student. Complete requested tasks in a timely manner and perdeadlines. We make every effort to respond quickly to your emails, butwe have times that are busier than others. Please politelycheck back if we haven't responded in 72 hours. Do not advisor shop or email our entire staff, it createsconfusion. If you have concerns, start with your instructor or us, asappropriate. We will elevate your concerns as needed.J. Mike Walker ‘66 Department of Mechanical Engineering21
