Stella Maris College

Our place is on Begum Shaib Street in Chennai, right in the heart of things. It is an old institution and you can feel the history when you walk through the gates. We have students coming and going all day, and the atmosphere is always a bit energetic and noisy. The building is number 3/2 and it has been part of the local landscape for ages. We spend our time managing the day-to-day life of the college, which involves a lot of scheduling, paperwork, and dealing with student requests. It is a lot to keep track of, but we have a rhythm down after all these years. The offices are tucked away in various parts of the campus, often filled with books and old files. We don't really do the whole corporate image thing; we are more concerned with making sure the classrooms are ready and the staff have what they need. You will often see us rushing across the courtyard with a stack of papers or sitting in the shade for a quick break. Chennai can be incredibly humid, so we appreciate the old trees on the grounds. It is a community here, and we all know each other's names. We focus on the practical side of running a school, from the admissions process to the graduation ceremonies. It is hard work and sometimes things get a bit disorganized, but we always manage to pull it together for the students.
