I teach Mass Communications (MCOM) at Chabot College, and this is the place to book some one-on-one time with me.
Students are welcome to schedule time for office hours, assignment questions, reviewing work or getting additional feedback, course planning and selecting classes, career or media advice, personal or academic concerns, or just a general check-in.
When possible, please come with specific questions or work you’d like to discuss so we can make the best use of our time.
Not a current student? You’re still welcome to book a time if there’s something you’d like to talk about.
