Every student here has to go through "joining procedures" when they first get to Harlaxton. This is where the College staff make copies of their passports, return travel itineraries, and other documents. All of this has to be kept on file in case British Immigration officers show up to double check the status of everyone here. Several faculty members volunteered to help Ed, the new Dean of Students, get through all 142 students quickly. Two and a half hours later, we were done.
Dr. Barbara Presnall, a political scientist, and I made an efficient team but this gave me a much greater appreciation for the registrar's staff back at Marian!

ReplyDeleteBTW, I wondered if you could send Mom a postcard when you get a chance...she is eager to hear how you are doing and I know she would enjoy some snail mail. I do keep her posted, but for her, it isn't the same :-)
