Sample Email to Students

Student engagement is one of the keys to success!  A sample email is enclosed for your reference.  Tailor language, images, and tone to meet your organizational standards.  Aside from email, get creative with engaging your students.  Maybe your institution uses social media, group messaging, or other communication regularly with students.  However you choose to communicate with students, remember to use multiple methods and send the messages several times.
