First, just to save time, I am not the Maryland politician who recently lost a bid for the U.S. Senate. Some mailers and callers regrettably fail to pick up on this handy fact.
E-mail steele@wharton.upenn.edu
E-mail is by far the best way to contact me. I'm not really a type-A person, but I do check email about 30 times a day. Students should not hesitate to write with questions. Not everything can be handled by email, but lots of things can.
Office Telephone: 215-898-9477 Office Fax: 215-898-1280
If you want to maximize the probability that you will actually find me sitting at my office desk, try calling on Monday afternoon between 2:15 and 4:15 or on Wednesday afternoon between 4:10 and 5:15.
I now have VoIP telephone messaging, so in theory I can also pick up your message from my email. So far, it seems to work, but I get very little phone traffic. If you need me to call back, leave your number on the phone or send it by email, but email is the best bet.
Office Location: My office is in J. M. Huntsman Hall, Room 447 (Fourth Floor, Take a Right off the Elevator).
It's easy to miss those mysterious elevators that take you to the fourth floor. Here's my best hint for finding them. From the Walnut Street entrance, head down the hall that is to your immediate left as you face the guard desk .You'll soon (very soon!) see the elevators to your right just after you start walking down the hall.
