Hello Students!
🔶 Here’s a simple guide of things to keep in mind once you’ve been introduced to your mentor over email. Following this checklist will help to ensure a seamless and efficient transition into meetings with your mentor!
When you are introduced to your mentor, use “Reply All’. Remember to cc your CR Liaison in your email.
REPLY ALL: This allows you to reply not only to the primary sender of the email but also to contacts who are included by the sender as “cc”. REPLY ALL is usually hidden somewhere near the recipient's email address.
CC: CC stands for carbon copy, and is located near the To field. CC allows you to keep other contacts informed in addition to your primary contact
🌍 When you respond to your mentor, suggest two options for days/times that you can meet (taking time zones into account). You can use Google or this website to compare time zones:

💬 After you and your mentor have decided on a date and time, add it to Google Calendar and ask them for a meeting link. You can set up an alert so that you are reminded of the meeting ahead of time. This video explains how you can do that in under 2 minutes.
