I spent some time in a university and learnt different things. What I learnt, I tried to express those learnings in the following paragraph. Could you please check the grammatical mistakes in the following paragraph to improve it further?

On March 22nd, I joined XYZ university and on April 15th work-from-home was implemented. Between this period, I got the chance to visit different areas of the university campus and met several key people. All were professional as well as cordial. I am now in position to tell anybody where particular faculty sits and where his or her office is or where a particular building is situated within a campus. I am now well familiar with the area of the campus. Further, online induction program was organized that helped me to learn the vision of the university and also I got the insight of working of different departments in terms of their way of working and what the hierarchy of that department was.

Note my corrections above.

I'm confused. Were you a student at the university or an employee? You have a habit of making your sentences far too long, and using "and" and "also" too often. While you're still learning, try to write shorter sentences.
 
I am an employee at the university. I am sorry if any of my posts gives you an impression that I am a student at the university.
 
To make that clear, you could have started with something like "I spent some time working at a university".

Yes, Rajan, especially since you start by saying you learned things. That's what students do — at least sometimes!
 
Learnt different things
