The Introductory Email: What to Include
Once you receive an email indicating that you have been assigned a mentee, you will have 48
hours to send an introductory email to your new mentee. This email must include:
 your first name
 your program and year of study
 your availability to meet
 suggested meeting locations
 a “reply back” date
You may suggest a time to meet that falls within the mentee’s indicated availability (as seen on
the email you receive from FYC altering you to your new mentee). However, since students are
likely to have changed their schedules since they registered for FYC, it is a good practice to offer
them your availability first and have them choose a time that works best for them.
Please also suggest meeting at a public venue on campus (e.g., the SEO’s Student Life Hub,
Rooster's Coffeehouse, Loeb Cafe, or Residence Commons). Present your mentee with a few
options and have them choose what works best for them.
Finally, a “reply back date” will incentivize a response and serve as a reminder to you, the
mentor, as to when you should send another email if the mentee does not respond.
