Dear all, An email was mistakenly sent out to our entire ICSS mailing list just awhile ago. From our understanding, there seems to have been an error in the mailman system that led to the email being mistakenly sent out to everyone in our mailing list. Please ignore the message, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this has caused. Thank you for your understanding. Yours Sincerely, Tricia Teo Secretary Imperial College Singapore Society
