16:11:57 From Pierre Thibodeaux (he/him) : i muted everyone! later, during the panel we will allow people to ask questions, including video/audio questions but aside from that i will be judiciously muting people 16:11:58 From Pierre Thibodeaux (he/him) : haha 16:19:33 From Pierre Thibodeaux (he/him) : How dod you acclimate to the different academic and social climate of college? 16:22:13 From Pierre Thibodeaux (he/him) : Hey everyone if you have any questions please either put them in the chat or dm them to me!

Thanks! 16:41:10 From Kenneth Lara(He, Him, His) : I would also like to hear this too LOL 16:43:37 From Sam Kresch (He, Him) : Should we always go to office hours or only when we need help? 16:44:26 From Yiluo Li : I feel like “keep exploring” should be an advice for undergrad from freshman to senior. Some subfields require a bit more knowledge to appreciate, and perhaps you will have a different perspective once you become a senior. 16:44:48 From Kenneth Lara(He, Him, His) : @sam I would say somewhere in the middle, if there are other people in office hours that do have question do not bug the professor with non course material 16:52:51 From Yiluo Li (she/her) : Utilize Discord!
