  • Networking Tip from the CSO

         The Thanksgiving break is a great time to contact your network by email and wish them a Happy Thanksgiving. A short, friendly email can be a good way to stay connected. The Thanksgiving break is a great time to contact your network by email and wish them a Happy Thanksgiving. A short, friendly email can be a good way to stay connected. Think of your former employers, college professors, family friends, acquaintances who have advised you along the way. You can even add an “ask” for an in-person get-together after final exams. Here’s what you might say:

    Subject: Happy Thanksgiving!

    Dear Professor Smith,
    Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thinking of you and hope you’re well. I’m enjoying law school and am grateful for the guidance that you provided me on my journey to become a lawyer.
    Let’s keep in touch. When final exams are over in December, I plan to be home. Perhaps we can meet for a coffee or connect by Zoom in early January before my spring semester classes begin?
    Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving,
    Your Name
    [Signature Block]
