…also - he/she MIGHT need to be addressed as professor or doctor (etc). If you happen to know. My D has been interviewed by 2 MDs and 1 professor so far. I don’t know if the professor would care AS much if addressed as Ms-since you’re not her student, but Doctors can be a little pricklier…esp. MDs. BUT…neither of the doctors TOLD her they were a doctor (until the interview), so that might be something you have to save for your Thank You note anyway. Especially hard are those that call instead of e-mail so they only SAY (not spell) their name. Once, my D had to have her interviewer paged to meet him at his hospital - but had no clue how to spell his name and, it being a huge place (and it ended up being an odd spelling), the operator didn’t have any idea who he was, how to spell it, how to find him.
