Student Handbook 2018-19 Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. -Ralph Waldo Emerson Welcome to Avantika It was Bob Dylan who said, “People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent”. To live a life full of bygone opportunities is a life full of misery. To seek comfort in convenience is a crime. By stepping into Avantika, you have entered a vibrant, cosmopolitan campus comprising an eclectic mix of minds from all over the country and beyond; of all political persuasions and socio-economic statuses. You are now an integral part of a residential community of learners with a common goal – that of intellectual transformation. The world as it stands today is replete with challenges – from the contentious presidential contest in America to the refugee crisis in Europe; to climate-related famine in Africa and the drought in California. It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the intensity – as one should be – but let’s not forget, you are a part of the solution. At Avantika, you have the freedom to pursue reason, facts, logic, and empathize with human nature. You will be armed to become the capstone of education by being a conscientious explorer, creator, and thinker. Indeed, the world is now your oyster. Welcome to Avantika. Welcome to a world of opportunities!
