FOREWORD BY SENIOR TUTOR

Welcome to Emmanuel! You may have thought about coming to Emmanuel for some

time, but unlike Freshers arriving in any other year, hardly any of you will have had

the opportunity to visit the College. . This means that you will have more to become

familiar with over the next few days, but actually not very much more than usual,

because a feature of the first week or so, pandemic or not, is that pretty well

everything is new. We are sure that you will settle in and become used to College

reasonably quickly, but please remember that it will take time, even with the help

of the Freshers’ reps and college families.

We are still in times of pandemic-related uncertainty, and while the rules are

nothing like as complicated or strict as they were this time last year, there are still

some restrictions, which all being well will relax as the year progresses. ECSU and

the rest of the College will help you as you arrive, as you meet the others in your

immediate household, and in your first few days as an undergraduate.

This Freshers’ Week Timetable is designed to welcome you to Emma and help you

feel at home as quickly as possible. It has to be provisional, given that we are

planning this well in advance of your arrival. But hopefully it will give you a sense of

the events that are planned, even if some of the details may have to be updated at

the beginning of October.

TIMETABLE 2021

BLUE= Events organised by First Year Freshers Representatives are shaded in blue

PINK= Some activities in this programme are compulsory; they are shaded in pink

Other activities= these are not compulsory, although you may wish to attend them,

All locations are wheelchair accessible unless stated otherwise
