I go between several sites (e.g., Heritage at Toppenish/Kennewick campuses, Columbia Basin College Campus, and my home office). I adapt my location and schedule to meet the needs of a given week. The following is my general plan for locations:

• Tuesdays and Saturdays (when we have MSW classes) in Toppenish
• Wednesdays and Thursdays in Kennewick

I schedule specific times for collaboration and student meetings every week at 2 PM on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I am at each site location during those times, and I also open up Zoom for anyone to join. You can join the Zoom meeting by visiting https://heritage.zoom.us/my/dr.jacob.

You can check out my NOW page for my schedule this week/today. Feel free to email (campbell_j@heritage.edu) or call/text me at (509) 392–1056 to schedule a specific meeting time.
