Instructor Special Needs for Spring 2018: I have been under treatment for
lukemia (blood cancer) since April 2017. On September 2017, I got a stem cell
transplant from a donor and am now recovering from the procedure. Due to my
condition, I am under several immuno-suppressive drugs which makes me
immune-compromised. Hence, as per my doctors’ advice, I cannot be in a class
full of students to minimize my risk of catching any infection during the cold/flu
season. I will be teaching via broadcast from my office and the classroom will be
in the Distance Education building, where you students can attend the lecture.
From the EL building if you go to the north end of the orange parking lot and turn
left at 700N, DE is one block away. Thank you for working with me on this.
