Intro-parent

You are an intro-parent during the introduction week. This week really needs good guidance, so we truly appreciate your help, champ! Before the week starts, you will sign an agreement regarding your responsibilities as an intro parent with your institute and the introduction committee (IC), get informed, and take a first aid course to make sure you're well-prepared.

Your main job as an intro-parent is to make sure the intro-participants have a worry-free week and can come to you with any questions. You will look after a group of participants together with other intro-parents. Your IC will keep you involved and make sure you know what to expect at the end of August.
