Resources and Support

STUDENT SUPPORT RESOURCES

While the university is big, we are a small community and we look out for one another. MSE cares about your well-being and we want to make sure you are aware of the resources available to you should you encounter any issues.

If you are ill and don’t expect to be attending class or reporting to your lab, please reach out to your advisor and/or a lab-mate to let them know. This helps everyone to know you are okay and when to expect you back.

MSE Dept. Leadership Resources:

  • Elizabeth Holm, MSE Department Chair
  • John Heron, Graduate Chair
  • Geeta Mehta, MSE Ombudsman
  • Renee Hilgendorf, Graduate Program Advisor
  • Molly Thornbladh, Undergrad Program Advisor
  • Todd Richardson, MSE Lead Department Administrator
