If you're looking for help using your computer more effectively, or looking for advice for problems that you've been having with your devices, this drop-in program with our technical staff may help!

This activity will go from 1PM to 2:30PM, and you can start setting up your device at 12:50PM if you want to be ready to go at the very beginning of that period. You're welcome to drop in later if you're looking for more specific support.
A limited number of laptops will be provided for training purposes, but please make sure to bring in your device and passwords if it's appropriate for the problem you're seeking help with.
