Meet our faculty who teaches our classes and our staff who administer the program.
If you have questions about registration, major requirements, internship opportunities, department events, administrative issues, or paperwork, ask our Personnel and Program Analyst Sylvia Meza-Tallada.
If you have questions about our production equipment, ask our Instructional Technology and Systems Administrator Nikki Normandia or our Media & Technology Assistant Trevor Jue.
If you have question about curricular issues, course substitution petitions, or FMS advising questions, ask Director of Undergraduate Study Lucas Hilderbrand.
If you have questions about specific courses, the major, or your future, talk to your faculty instructors.
Faculty office hours
Office hours are an opportunity to build mentoring relationships with faculty, to clarify and enrich concepts from class, and to talk about your future.
Every faculty you take classes with holds office hours. Some faculty may want you to schedule an appointment, and others may have open drop-in office hours. Typically faculty are not available to meet beyond their designated office hours unless you have made a scheduled appointment for another time.
Come to office hours prepared. If you have questions about an assignment, read through the prompt carefully in advance. If you have a question about a lecture, read through your notes so that you can pinpoint your areas of confusion; office hours are not intended for faculty to re-give entire lectures.
Office hours can be times for thinking ahead beyond specific classes. You can come to discuss course plans, internships, research and creative projects, study abroad, grad school, and future career plans. You can also come to office hours to talk about ideas or about films and media that excite you. Faculty will likely have advice about preparing for your future or suggestions for other things to read and watch for enrichment.
