Communicating with Faculty About Your Research Interests

Are you interested in contacting a faculty member about joining their research lab? Would you like to propose an independent study idea? Do you need to find a mentor for a thesis project? Do you need to ask for a letter of recommendation or other support toward your goals? You don’t need to take this step alone! This workshop will cover the nuts and bolts of reaching out to faculty about your research goals — when and how is the best way to approach a potential research mentor, and how to prepare for these conversations.
