MAKING CONTACT
“Getting to know you /
Getting to know all about you…”

TAKING CHARGE
“Here is a chance to take charge of our fate /�Deep down you must know that tomorrow's too late!”
Jekyll & Hyde, “Jekyll’s Plea”
PLANNING THE JOURNEY
“There's a road we must travel /�There's a promise we must make…”

USING SCHEDULER
Xavier
“Meet me in St. Louis, Louis /�Meet me at the fair…”
Meet Me In St. Louis, “Meet Me In St. Louis”
“I REALLY appreciated using Canvas for advising this semester. The only change that I can think of is related to the use of the scheduler. It's pretty inflexible and not super intuitive. The scheduler should be more easily editable even after appointments have been set up.”
“it would be nice to be able to modify the time blocks once they've been set up. For example: deleting a batch of empty ones because a meeting has been scheduled; adding a block of times when a meeting has been canceled; extending the blocks out into the future.”
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
