This is more of a geeky technical tip but hey, welcome to the 21st century.
You will undoubtedly be receiving tons of emails throughout your undergrad career. And seeing as you cannot remember everything that is emailed to you (trust me, you won’t), you will need to establish a system of cataloging and organizing your emails. I started out using the browser based method of accessing my email but I wanted more.
Now I use a client, or application, to interact with my email. This client allows me to keep my browser dedicating to browsing websites, quickly read all of my email without clicking around a lot, organize emails into folders (I suggest making a folder for each course you are enrolled in), easily compose and send new messages, interact with my address book, etc…
If you’re feeling ready to take your email to the next level, check out this link from ITS on how to get started.
