Digest Hey everyone! Hope you're still coping fine despite all the stress from studying for the upcoming exams! Just look forward to the holidays, especially for those going back to Singapore - we'll finally get to see our family and friends, and satisfy our local food cravings! We have recently concluded the Meet & Greet sessions for Team Sojourn 2015, and the new OGs for Sojourn have been officially formed. Everyone in Team Sojourn is excited to welcome the next batch of freshers, but if anyone else would like to offer support, do tell us! Don't forget that *Singsoc Farewell Party* will be held on 22 May 2015 (Fri), 7pm at EEE LT509! Even though it is the exam period, we still hope you will drop by for a while to destress and bid farewell to the graduating seniors & exchange students. If you're coming, do sign up HERE <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id=ac6b011e0d&e=030d49d029> so we can cater enough food for everyone! We're still calling for *Academic Reps* - they played a really important role for us freshers entering a new course, so we hope you will pay it forward and step out to be the Academic Rep of your batch! Please fill in a form HERE <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id=75ee0981cf&e=030d49d029> if you have already volunteered/been nominated :D We are also re-opening a *competition* for the *design* of the *ICSS membership card*. Remember that super artistic card that we got last year? Now is your chance - your design could be in everyone's wallets this year! Finally, in the midst of the housing mayhem, if you are looking to sell or buy any furniture, appliances or books, or looking for summer storage/rent, do check out the *ICSS Forums *HERE <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id=36ad4c7153&e=030d49d029> !

However, it does not necessarily have to be a sad thing because saying a proper goodbye will let those leaving know that they will be dearly remembered. For seniors who will be leaving us this year, or juniors who would like to give our seniors a final and memorable farewell, please do come down for our Singsoc Farewell Party (SFP)! There will be loads of food, games and entertainment (all guaranteed plus chop fun :D)! We understand that SFP is during the exam period for most of you, but please do try and make it even if it is only for a short while! Details of SFP are as follows: Theme: *Nostalgia* Date: *22 May 2015, Friday* Time: *7pm – 10 pm* Venue: *Electrical and Electronic Engineering Building, LT 509* Dress Code: *Piano* (Yes, this is the musical instrument with the black and white keys) The sign up link for SFP is HERE <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id=dc243bb728&e=030d49d029>! We strongly encourage people who have not signed up to do so as soon as possible! We hope to see you guys there!

The role of the Academic Reps will be to serve as the *point of contact* for the ICSS freshers entering your course when they have queries or need advice. While it would be ideal for you to be able to attend this year's *Pre-Departure Talk* which will be on 4 July 2015, it's okay if you can't make it as you can still ask someone to stand in for you! Please *nominate* one person amongst your course or group of courses as specified below, and fill in a form HERE <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id=47daac50ab&e=030d49d029> by *17 May 2015*: - Aeronautical Engineering - Biochemistry & Biotechnology - Biology, Ecology & Microbiology - Biomedical Sciences & Biomedical Engineering - Chemical Engineering - Chemistry - Civil Engineering - EEE & EIE - Geology & Geophysics - Materials Science & Engineering - Mathematics & Computing - Mechanical Engineering - Medicine - Physics If you have any queries, feel free to contact me at secretary@ic-singsoc.net.

Due to the overwhelmingly good response last year, we will be opening up a competition for the design of the *ICSS Members' Card* again! The winner of the competition will be given free membership for 2015-2016, and bask in the pride of seeing his/her design being published! All entries are welcome, but please make sure you meet these criteria: 1) The card should contain: "Imperial College Singapore Society" logo, "Imperial College Union" logo and a list of restaurants offering discount for ICSS members (you may use the list of restaurants in this year's member card) 2) Card Size: size of your credit/ debit card i.e. 8.6cm X 5.5cm Kindly send your card design to secretary@ic-singsoc.net. The deadline for the card design submission is *30th June 2015*, and online voting on Facebook will be launched afterwards. We look forward to seeing your awesome card designs! :D Your awesome Secretary, Benjamin Chin (: 4. ICSS Forums Hi everyone, It's that time of the year when we start moving houses again, and some of us may be looking for avenues to sell that extra mattress, crockery set or textbook, or even to let out our places for summer storage and/or rental over the summer break. We would thus like to invite you to try out the *ICSS Forums* <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id=c387b99435&e=030d49d029> ! The ICSS Forums is an experimental forum hosted on the society's website. With feedback that a forum might be more effective in facilitating communication between buyers and sellers during the housing season, we have decided to create this new platform for everyone to interact on. The Forums are now open for potential sellers like you to advertise your goods! If you have anything to sell this year, we encourage you to create a topic for it on the relevant sub-forum. Using the Forums is very simple; in addition, we have created a handbook <http://union.us9.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id=3fad12fe09&e=030d49d029> for you to guide you through it. The handbook also contains additional information about the Forums (like why it is a viable alternative to Facebook). If you have any questions pertaining to the Forums, feel free to ask Ivan ( admin@ic-singsoc.net) or Jing Yi (jing.chan13@ic.ac.uk). Thank you and we hope to see you soon on the Forums! :) Your kiasu Liaisons Officer, Ivan Imperial College Singapore Society Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, United Kingdom To unsubscribe from this newsletter, click here <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id=14ec6ae6ab&e=030d49d029&c=3d80dff2ad> .
