The mail boxes are on the 2nd floor of BSB in the Copy Room to the right of the elevators as you face them. The mail boxes are arranged in alphabetical order. The space for a faculty member's mailbox is above their name. Not sure? The secretaries and administrative support people are also on the 2nd floor to the right of the elevators - just ask!
All students also have file folders in the file cabinets in the secretaries' area on the second floor. Many faculty return student papers using these file folders. Check it out!
