Our Office (MS 337A)
Our office, and club roo is a super cute space in the Mathematical Sciences building where you can unwind after a long class, hang out with your peers, or study for that test. We will attempt to follow a 9-5 schedule weekdays, during the Fall/Winter semesters of the University of Calgary school year. We do our absolute best to assure we are open as much as possible during these hours, however, please note that our office hours depend on our volunteers and sometimes the office hours may change without notice.
Unfortunartely, our office remains closed due to the ongoing health emergency. In its place we are always online on our Discord channel to chat and we run Virtual Office Hours throughout the week!
