1
Aim How can we respond to professors when they
respond to us? What if they do not respond?
2
HW
  • Mentors 6-10 are due tomorrow (Friday)
  • Summary in own words, lab research interests
    printout from website and 2 printed abstracts.
  • You can add them to your log.

3
When a professor responds to your email, why do
you want to respond?
  • If they want to meet, you want to confirm and
    tell them you are interested
  • If its a no, you want to be polite.
  • If professor does not respond, we want to nudge
    them to think about us again.

4
Professor wants to meet
  • Thank you for your response.
  • I would be so excited to meet with you.
  • If they give you a day and time to meet, confirm
    that you are available and that you will be
    there.
  • If they do not give you a date, ask when it would
    be a good time to meet. Give them the days and
    times you are available.

5
Prof wants to meet
  • Ask for the exact address of the lab or office,
    and the room number.
  • In case I am stopped by security, could I have a
    phone number where I could contact you?
  • Tone-positive, grateful, excited, polite and
    professional.

6
Negative response from prof
  • Simple response
  • Thank you for your response.
  • I understand that you are very busy/ your lab is
    full/you are on sabbatical and that you cannot
    have me in your lab.
  • However, I am still very interested in (your
    topic). If you know of any other professors who
    might be interested in working with a student,
    feel free to forward my information to them.
  • Good luck with your research (I wish the lab good
    luck).

7
Negative response
  • Positive tone
  • Understanding
  • Maybe you will make another connection

8
No response from professor
  • 10-14 days after sending initial email, we will
    send a reminder
  • My name is _______ and I am a student at Bx Sci.
    I sent you an email on (date) about possibly
    volunteering in your lab on a research project.
    I just wanted to check that you received it.

9
No response
  • I understand if you are not able to work with me.
    Since I am still very interested in (this topic)
    if you know of other professors who might be
    interested in working with a student, please feel
    free to forward my information to them.
  • Good luck with your research.
