- Unfortunately, there isn't a way to save a spot in the class if you can't attend the signup meeting because of conflicts with non-THEA classes taught by instructors who are not able to allow you to miss this class session; however some students may find a spot in one of the labs after this meeting if they contact the instructor, Professor Williams (dwil...@ucsc.edu), AND the operations and facilities manager, Mack (tec...@ucsc.edu) and check in over the next week or so.
