Virtual Drop-In Advising Using Google Hangouts - hangouts.google.com
Remember, your TerpMail accounts are operated through Google, so all students should have access to these features. (Angela is always available via email, too!)
During the first week of classes of the Fall 2020 semester, Ms. Angela Mazur-Gray will set aside time to meet with students for drop-in advising using Google Hangouts (video calls or text-based chat, aka "G-Chat"). Simply initiate a Hangout by following the steps below:
- Log into your Google account, then type: "hangouts.google.com" into the browser bar at the top of the screen.
- Click through the intro screen until you land on your Hangouts homepage, which will have a list of any ongoing chats on the left and will offer you three options in the center of the page, "Video Call," "Phone Call," and "Message."
- Click the option you want (choose either Video Call or Message), the type the email address of the person you want to video chat or message into the search bar that pops up on the top left corner of the screen - Angela’s email is abm13@umd.edu

Drop-in hours are as follows:
- Monday, August 31 ---- 9 a.m. - 11 a.m.
- Tuesday, September 1 ---- 1 p.m. - 3 p.m
- Wednesday, September 2 ---- 9 a.m. - 11 a.m.
- Thursday, September 3 ---- 1 p.m. - 3 p.m
- Friday, September 4 ---- 9 a.m. - 11 a.m.
Drop in hours are designed for short, general advising questions. If you feel your situation is more complex, consider making a separate one-on-one appointment.
Your patience is appreciated! There may come a time when there is a high chat volume. You will be notified if this is the case once you’ve initiated your Hangout.
