    • Where to find me / how to reach me

    Finding me, like finding any other professor, can be a challenge. Only part of what I need to do can be done in my office, and often what does required my undivided attention. The best way to find me is to come during my office during posted office hours. They change every quarter. They are announced in class, and are available by stopping by my office or contacting the department office. I can be contacted directly via email at joseph.slater@wright.edu. I check my email very regularly. If I don't respond within 24 hours during the week, I am probably out of town. If you come looking for me, I may be in any of the following places, listed in order of probability.
  • My office (238 Russ)
  • Class
  • ME dept office
  • The Vibration Lab (139 Russ)
  • Some meeting, somewhere on campus
  • Lunch
  • The restrooms
