A Roundup of the Kreaverse
|
There is something about this time of the year, the air ripe with anticipation, palpable excitement, the bustle of eager footsteps - the prologue to exciting new learning chapters. Time is but fleeting in the life of a university. Legacies are formed, torchbearers keep passing the baton, and the flame of continuity burns strong. While everyday routines are caught in a blur, they also bring with them the promise of so many new beginnings. Heralding another of these, we will soon open our arms and welcome the newest cohort of the MBA, Integrated MBA and BA and BSc (Honours) programmes. Alongside them the returning cohorts come back with a whirlwind of fresh experiences; of internships, passion projects and a short relaxing pause.
There is doubt and nervousness, but also excitement, camaraderie and relief, a mixed bag of emotions befitting the kaleidoscope we call university life.
