Last Things: Keep in Touch

Important to keep in touch even after your formal research relationship ends as your advisor can provide you with useful career mentoring and may be useful as a reference for future jobs, graduate and/or professional school. Don't be afraid to send an occasional e-mail message or holiday card or to telephone or stop by to say hello.
