They will also be responsible for bringing samples of construction materials from the materials storage cabinet in Wurster Hall and reference texts from my office in Wheeler Hall to class. They will help collect additional samples and slide images as well as coordinate handouts and field trips. Part of the slide and handout preparation will happen in January before classes begin.
