Hello, my name is Stuart Croft.
I'm the Vice Chancellor of the university.
It's a real privilege to be able to
say welcome to you all and thank
you for joining our community.
It's a large community.
It's a seven and a half thousand of us staff,
over 28,000 students and we're a
very impactful community as well,
obviously in terms of the the
work that we do with our students,
our research partners,
but our other partners who come
onto campus and work with us,
work on this space at the same time.
The science park, the conference park,
the Arts Center,
sports right across the whole campus.
We really are a community institution.
We are large and we are quite complex
and sometimes that means that things
can be a little bit confusing.
So as well as obviously working
in your teams,
I would really encourage you to start
developing those networks across
the institution, which I think.
People, tell me anyway,
are so important in how people find
they can navigate their way through
the ways that we work at Warwick.
We are a great place.
We're an exciting place.
We're an incredibly ambitious place.
We are ambitious actually,
to try to change the world for the better.
That's really what a lot of
our education is about.
It's really what a lot of our research
is about is really what about
A lot of our policies and a lot of
things that we're trying to do is
about trying to make the world a
better place, and sometimes that can seem.
Quite heavy and onerous and challenging,
and our individual roles in it can
seem quite small and insignificant.
But working together we are,
as the phrase says, we are stronger together.
So. So welcome to Warwick.
I know you have a fantastic
induction process.
I hope that you have already found lots
of people to talk with and engage with.
And find out more about this amazing place.
We are a community.
As I say, it's sports here, arts here.
Additional lectures,
other kind of conferences,
all things that you can enjoy as
well as of course the wonderful
range of cafes and and restaurants.
It is a great place to be.
I hope you really enjoy your first few days,
few weeks.
Well depending on how long you have been with us
A few months and best of luck
and thank you for joining us.
