<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">My name is Jacob Schaupp and I am gathering feedback and student comments to be presented to the faculty and staff at the yearly faculty retreat! As there are many of us spread around across different labs, it
is quite difficult to meet everyone in person. Me and the department would really appreciate hearing the comments from all students! If you have a moment, I would appreciate it if you would reach out to me through
<a href="mailto:js400421@ohio.edu" title="js400421@ohio.edu">email</a> with some comments. Or feel free to schedule a meeting in person with me if you would prefer. All responses will be summarized and kept anonymous. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
