Message for Freshers Hello from everyone in the 37th Executive Committee! To the freshers, welcome again to the ICSS family! We’re really happy to meet you for the very first time at our Pre-Departure Talk on 21 July! We hope you enjoyed yourselves while mingling with the seniors and your fellow coursemates, at the same time keeping afloat on the numerous administrative matters to clear :) After receiving so much information at the Talk, I’m sure you’re starting to be excited about what’s in store for you; so are we! Throughout the year, you’ll be sure to make a lot of friends, try new things and most importantly have an enjoyable experience. I can personally say that for myself and I’m sure you’ll get the chance to do the same! While you’re in Singapore, keep a close lookout at our Freshers’ Events! These events are specially planned by us for you to build upon the support base before even heading to London! Get ready for a sun-burnt yet splashing fun time in our orientation camp, *Sojourn*; represent the pride of #teamicss in *Warwick Summer Games*; take the chance to mingle with other *UK-Bound* (pun intended!) students in *UKBound 2019*! Well, that’s enough talk from me; after all, we’ll let the experience speak for themselves! Continue scrolling down this newsletter to find out more!
