Hi ________,
Let’s plan on meeting next Tuesday at 10:00 and then we can plan regular times after that. Where
would you feel most comfortable meeting? We can go get coffee somewhere on campus or you can
come to my office, whichever you prefer. Also, I have a list of questions for you to answer and email to
me sometime before we meet so I can get to know you a little better! Don’t worry, I will send you my
answers too!
