Contact Numbers & Schedule

      E-mail: donna.gordon@hccs.edu  I check the mail daily, and generally try to get back to students within 24 hours.   

     Office Hours: While most Southwest faculty members have no offices as such, I'm happy to meet or consult with you before or after class, by appointment at a designated HCC location, or by e-mail or phone.  On Fridays I'm generally available to meet with students individually. If the need arises, please see me to schedule a time and a campus at which to meet. If I do not have any appointments scheduled, I am likely to be at home working, so it's a good time to conference by e-mail.
