It was the first day first time for over 600 students on Thursday. They were on the campus for orientation programme. There was a visible excitement on the faces of most of them. However, there was also a certain anxiety on the faces of many of them as to what was in store for them in the year.
The orientation began with prayer and a message from both the Rector, Fr Terence Farias and the Principal, Fr Ambrose Pinto. Fr Rector called upon the students to strive hard to achieve greater excellence in academics and extra curricular activities so that students could grow as individuals to build society. The Pricnipal briefed the students on what makes Joseph’s different and special.
Later, students were explained the way of proceeding on campus. Among other things, there were sessions on the history of the College, autonomous system, credit system, dress code, discipline, associations etc. Dr Cherian Alexander of English Department took the students on a journey into the history of the College which began in 1882, through audio visual presentation. A short film on the College, Being Josephite prepared by the Communication department was also shown to the students in batches. Many students had queries regarding the norms and regulations of the College, besides their anxieties regarding credits and assignment.
