Any suggestions in how to keep in contact with potential supervisors?

Hi,

 

From what I've read on this forum, staying in contact with your potential supervisors during the admissions year is important and can help to your advantage. I'm meeting with a potential supervisor soon and was wondering if anyone could provide any tips in how to keep the communication going through the year with your potential supervisor? I find that usually when I meet with someone, I often get all my questions answered and they tell me if I happened to come up with any other questions later that I can contact them. However, sometimes I find that I if I do enough digging, I can find my answer on the internet or my question seems too trivial that it's something that I don't necessarily need to bother them.  Hence, I end up getting out of touch with them.

 

So, does anyone have any tips/suggestions in how to keep in contact with their potential supervisor? Like how do you maintain a level of communication with them without it seem like you're annoying or desperate?

 

Thanks in advance!
