Rumors about DTC????
Hi,
I was asked twice today about a rumor that DTC is moving to Vancouver. Dr. Arola heard this too.
This is absolutely, positively wrong. DTC is staying in Pullman. Should I repeat that?? DTC is staying in Pullman.
DTC in Pullman is established at 100 majors strong, and we're sticking around. Keep recruiting too. Although majors will now have to certify, we have room for a bunch of new people next fall. We want to keep the program at 100 majors until we can hire another faculty person. That's a good deal because we're committed to keeping classes small and standards high.
P. S. DTC also exists in Vancouver and Tri-Cities. All three campuses have DTC programs. That's one of the many cool things about the major.

See your Advisor!!
Don't put off seeing your advisor until the last minute. All DTC advisors are great at advising, but they're also teachers, administrators, and have other responsibilities. They aren't just available the minute you decide you want to get organized for registration.
Most of us need at least a few days notice to get you booked. So plan ahead. Please. We want to do a great job for you, but can't do that unless you give us some lead time.
And when you email your advisor, make sure to address him/her properly. All of us have PhD's so starting out on a "Dr." basis is a good policy. Then you can move to less formality if the "decorum" calls for that.
