Reading Discussion Leader Timeslots (pdf)

If you plan on needing a projector, laptop, or other technology for your presentation timeslot, you will need to be responsible for contacting Kim NO LESS THAN TWO DAYS IN ADVANCE. I believe emailing her is the best way to reach her. Please see the following:

Contact: Kim J. Puuri
Phone: 906.487.3277
Email: kjpuuri@mtu.edu
1) Tell her what kind of equipment you need.
2) Tell her the date and time you will be picking it up.
3) Provide her your contact information.
4) Ask her for a confirmation email (i.e. just because you ask for it does not mean it is available to you.)
5) Be on time to pick up your equipment (3rd Floor Walker) and promptly return it after class.
