Fall Department hours of Operation

Like most departments at WMU, the Mathematics Department, along with other Departments in Everett Tower and Rood Hall, are dealing with the current pandemic in ways consistent with building reopen plans that somewhat restrict access to both the buildings and the faculty we are used to in normal times.  The Department and many of the faculty will continue to work remotely with an in-person main office presence two days per week through the fall semester. The main Math office (3rd floor of Everett Tower) will be open for face-to face interactions by appointment only on Tuesdays and Thursdays (9:00 – 4:00). The Physics Department (1st floor of Everett Tower) will be open on Mondays and Wednesdays for general building inquiries. If you wish to make an appointment for general concerns or questions regarding activities in the Mathematics Department, please call at those times on either Tuesday or Thursday or leave a message at 269-387-4513 and those inquiries will be answered at the start of each of those two days.
