A good return to school, even masked!

On September 7, Grenoble INP-Pagora welcomed first year students to its premises. A special return to school in a positive state of mind.
"Even with the masks all day, it's a good start!"
This appreciation of one of the new engineering students of Grenoble INP-Pagora put balm in the heart of the educational and administrative team who organized this new school year unlike any other, Covid-19 requires.


Filtered entry into the premises, mandatory masks and hydroalcoholic gel, direction of movement, distancing, unique classroom ... the new recruits, coming from various backgrounds, have willingly lent themselves to the safety protocol put in place by the school in order to preserve the health of all.
