*Do write an email with good etiquette, clear points, and a mention (maybe a question) of a piece of the mentor's research that interests you.
*Do write an email with good etiquette, clear points, and a mention (maybe a question) of a piece of the mentor's research that interests you.
**Be sure to read through at least a few of the professor's papers. You don't have to understand everything—in fact, a great way to demonstrate your curiosity is to ask the professor in the email itself. For instance, "I don't quite understand ___, but I would like to get to know more about it. Is there a way we can set up a meeting to discuss ___?" Another option is to ask your senior(s) that are in the professor's lab. Chances are, they'll have a good grasp on what's going on in their research.
**Writing about ''how'' you got interested in the professor's field can also be a great selling point in your email.
*Do '''''NOT''''' send too many emails. Dr. James Duban, Associate Dean for Research and National Scholarships, recommends that each email sent be waited for 3 business days for reply.

This is made possible primarily through the newly introduced effort by the TAMS Research Organization. A page is kept where students can submit brief form on research interests, and where professors interested in mentoring students may seek those whom they are interested in on a PDF file organized by TAMS staff from the forms students submit.
