Writing
thank you notes is a skill and showing gratitude for how people help you is
very much a characteristic of a professional. For this assignment you need to
send a thank you note to someone who has helped you over the course of the semester.
It might be an advisor, a guest speaker in one of your classes, someone you
interviewed with, a scholarship donor, etc. Your note must be
professionally presented and may be handwritten or typed and can be sent as a
hardcopy or email-whichever you think appropriate. Use your professional
judgement.
A
couple of things about writing Thank You notes:
1)
Think carefully about what should be included in a Thank You note to be
professional. You want it to be specific for the person and recognize
what s/he did for you. Draft your note and if it could be sent to anyone
about anything (“thanks a lot for your help”), then you need to
revise. Let the person know how they help you; what did it mean to you?
