Office Hours: I will hold regular office hours on Wednesday evenings from 4:00 until
10:15 PM. Meetings during office hours are scheduled by appointment. Appointment sheets
listing office-hour dates and appointment times for the entire semester are posted on the
bulletin board outside the International Development Office. Please sign up personally for
appointments whenever possible. However in circumstances where this is impossible, you may
call the work study assistant at the International Development Division office (X1660) or
James Thompson, the International Development Division Manager (X1657) and they will make
an appointment for you. Please be sure to include phone numbers where you can be reached
during the day and evening when making appointments.
If you can not reach me at the University, you should feel comfortable about calling
me at home. Your message will be received by voice mail if I am not available. Please do
not call before 8:30 AM or after 8:00 PM on weekdays and not before 10:00 AM or after 6:00
PM on weekends. You may send a fax at any time. I normally check my elec-tronic (computer)
mail regularly each day, but not always. Urgent messages should be communicated by voice
mail or fax. You may also use these media to alert me that I have an electronic mail
message. You will be issued computer accounts at the beginning of the semester if you do
not already have one. Speak with Mr. Kumarakulasingam if you have questions about The
American University's electronic mail system.
