How do you all go about doing this?
When I graduated from undergrad last May, I told my honors thesis mentor that she was a huge role model for me and that I'd like to "keep in touch."
I know others on this forum have varying degrees of communication with undergrad mentors, but I'm finding it difficult to even start an email that is casual and professional enough to be appropriate. How do you continue/maintain a relationship with someone that is not a "friend" but is also no longer an instructor?
I'm not sure why, but I feel pretty embarrassed about sending an email when I'm not asking for anything at the moment (like a reference or advice). Any profs have anything to add about their communication with former students?
The last time we spoke was before graduation and before the year is over, I just want to say "Hey".....without JUST SAYING HEY 🙂
