0 commentsDuring the last two days, Thursday and Friday, August 30th and 31st, I had a general orientation for the entire graduate school at Brown, as well as a specific orientation for the Center for Environmental Studies (CES). Both have gotten me extremely excited about the start of classes on Wednesday, the other students and professors in my program, my own course of study as well as my future after completing the program. At the CES orientation I finally got to meet the other students. In total there are 8 of us, from varied backgrounds, social as well as educational. The most important thing, however, is that in addition to being extremely engaging, smart and passionate, I can already tell that it will be easy to make friends with all of the students. So from that perspective alone I feel happy because I now have eight new friends, colleagues and collaborators.
