Orientation update
I've had some requests for updates on orientation events, but there is not much to report as yet. Margaret went with me yesterday to 1.5 hours of orientation activities, but it dealt primarily with undergraduates. I had forgotten that over here, once you are admitted to university studies, you pick a school within your university and spend your entire time there. So, we have quite a few students in the 18-year old range.Here is a brief breakdown by the numbers:
-10 schools at the U of E
-Divinity is the second smallest
-450 students altogether at divinity school
-Div. school offers 1 Bachelor's, 3 Master's and 1 Doctoral degree (BDiv, MDiv, ThM, MPhil, PhD)
-150 new students this year
-70 new research (MPhil and PhD) students
-3 students from Dartmouth on an exchange programme (<--like how I spelled that?)
-5 PhD students (second year and on) who graduated from PTS
-School will be 160 years old next year
-University will be 500 years old in 2012
That's all for now. Hope everyone is doing well.

JKB-Good to see the facts in writing.
How does this compare to numbers last year? Give us Wednesday's update when convenient...SLB
If you are one of the research students, do you get your own little cubbie, closet, study carol, caroll, karol, coral? - Wooed
SLB & Wooed--
RE: Numbers last year. The total number of students here is about half of what was at PTS last year. There are more research students here, though.
And unfortunately, no, I don't get my own space, but the good news is that there is ample space to choose from.
