Welcome from Assistant Director Justin B. Hopkins '06
We hoped to release this semester's second issue earlier, but, well, this chart--an excerpt from last week's statistics report--may help explain why we didn't. (These numbers don't even reflect our Reading Days/Finals schedule--almost another whole week's worth of appointments offered, and the vast majority used.)

Just in case the numbers don't speak for themselves, we want to say thank you to everyone who visited or encouraged someone else to visit us this semester (and for the last eleven years, for that matter). Once again, we're busier than ever, and happy about it.
