One week after being made available, all 12 slots to meet and speak with the Chancellor have been filled.

Following high demand of the past two sessions of the Chancellor’s office hours – the most recent was last Wednesday – students are now being put on a waitlist for the March 4 date from 9 to 11 a.m.

Nine people were on the waitlist for one of the 10-minute appointments as of last Thursday.

“My Chancellor’s office hours [in January] was a huge success,” Coombe wrote in an e-mail to DU students.

Freshman Samantha Harper was one of the 12 able to speak with Chancellor Coombe during the Jan. 26 session.

She wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get to know the chancellor one-one-one and talk about her life as a freshman at DU, she said.

“Our session didn’t feel scripted at all,” Harper said. “The chancellor expressed interest in what I was doing [at DU]. I felt a connection with him. I’d say it’d be possible for him to recognize my name [because of participating in office hours].”

“I talked to him about my freshman experience and made suggestions,” she said. “I mean, the staff should know where the university is going [with its freshmen]. I figured, ‘If we can make the freshmen experience better, why not?'”

Harper also suggested that the Club Day held at the beginning of fall quarter should be moved to later in the school year, when freshmen have their schedules finalized and juniors have returned from abroad.

Students can add their names to the wait list for the March 4 session by contacting the Chancellor’s office at chancellor@du.edu or 303-871-2111.
