Tomorrow we start our induction programme. We meet all of our
first years. A colleague and I talked about it on Friday.
“It’s a slightly scary time. First impressions count,” he
said. “What if we give them the wrong impression? What if it seems chaotic?”
I can remember my “Freshers’ Week” all those years ago. I
was slightly overwhelmed – not so much by what I was about to face – that was
all as I expected it to be - but by the complexity of the week’s programme. It
did all work, of course.
