My first day at work is coming up soon and I would like to know how to reach out to my manager and tell him that I would be on campus on the said date and would love to have 1:1 with him. I am a graduate student just entering professional life thank you for your help!

Is there any reason you feel your manager may be too busy or has so many people that report to him that he isn't interested in anything one on one?

@JeffO I am not sure about that. I know there is an orientation and throngs of NCGs will be there.
