1. Words from the 38th Major Event Officer

Hello people! I’m Churn Hym, your new Major Event Officer. Its my pleasure

to be able to serve you as the up and coming MEO and I will make sure that I will not let you down in my role. I will work closely with the 38^th ExCo to produce an ME of similar standard, if not better, than previous years. So stay tuned for what’s to come in ME 2021.

----
With that, the 38th Executive Committee is now complete! We hope to have your support in the coming year, and we will continue to do our best to make ICSS a warm and welcoming place for everyone :)

Lots of love,
The 38th Executive Committee

2. Team Sojourn

Hey all! Bored of Tiktok videos and #ChloeTingChallenge? Don’t worry, Sojourn applications are opennNN! Come sign up to meet this year’s freshers and expand our SingSoc family!

Game Masters: Design fun games (both online and physical), and carry them out during Sojourn.
Media & Publications: Design and publicise Sojourn on Singsoc media platforms, and take photographs during Sojourn.
Ninjas (Logistics): Getting and transporting logistics before and during Sojourn.
*Note: Ninjas may not be applicable in online Sojourn. In that case, you will be an OGL and may be asked to help in other areas.
Secret Freshers: Blend in among the freshers, bond all of them together and baffle them when you reveal yourself. Make sure you don’t get caught!
Orientation Group Head: Bring the entire OG together and forge new bonds that will tide them over their next few years in Imperial.
*Note: All Game Masters, Media & Publications members and Ninjas will be OGLs.

*TENTATIVE*
Sojourn Dates: 21st - 23rd August 2020 (If we can hold a physical Sojourn)
Sojourn Dry Run Dates: 31st July - 1st August 2020 (If we can hold a physical Sojourn)

Due to the COVID situation, the format of Sojourn 2020 will most likely be either 1) fully online or 2) a small meet-up with just our own OGs if the situation improves. Of course, the option of the full physical Sojourn that we all experienced (it may still happen) is not completely ruled out. We might have to change certain things (such as changing some roles), but if we do we’ll be sure to inform you as early as possible.

We will be holding Meet & Greet sessions from 30th May to 7th June on Skype to get to know you better and chat with you. It will be a really chill session so just be yourself :) You may choose to sign up together in a group (maximum of 3 per group) or on your own. Do indicate your interest and availability for a short Skype session via this form here (https://tinyurl.com/TeamSojourn2020) by 27 May 2020.

Hope to see you soon and all the best for your exams!!

>From your struggling-in-anatomy EOs,
Gillian and Leanne

5. K&T Reviews

Hey all!

Welcome back to another edition of K&T Reviews! Studying for examinations has made me consume a gargantuan amount of coffee, so I decided to dedicate this week's entry to the wonderful world of Latte Art! (Let us just pretend that I am using latte) This can be done with any drink, so grab your cup and some cocoa powder - we are going to create works of art! (I really hope that this works out...)

Oh... oh well...

Ut-tea-rly disappointed,
Moo Vee Fan
