I left the campus address as a placeholder since it wasn't included in the original. I also retained the Eastern Time schedule, although I'd recommend removing the time zone designation if the posting is for a campus outside the Eastern Time Zone.

One other detail worth confirming: the original describes the weekend schedule as an option, but only lists Thursday–Sunday. I've presented it as the assigned schedule to make the posting clearer.
