President's Note Hi everyone :) ICSS has finally concluded all of our events we have in our Summer Calendar! *cues applause* This Summer has indeed been a fruitful one. Even before we came back to Singapore, the 32nd Exco had already begun our preparation for the Summer events. But we couldn't have started anything without the first publication of the Sotong Guide by Jing Yi, the Liaisons Officer. This wonderful guide continues to serve its purpose of educating Freshers (including those from other London Universities apparently!) about what they should take note of before and after arriving in London! We started off with a Pre-Departure Talk which saw more than 80 freshers and their family who were present. And within the next month, we had our annual orientation, Sojourn 2014 - Mystery. I am glad and heartened to see many of the OGLs and OGlings still meeting up for OG outings! I would like to take this opportunity to send my thanks to Weihao, my Secretary, and Lincoln, my Events Officer who has helped to spearhead the planning and execution of PDT as well as Sojourn respectively. I would also like to thank the OGHs as well as Team Sojourn for their dedicated efforts in making the Freshers' orientation experience awesome. Shortly after the conclusion of Sojourn, the many sports interest groups started their training for the exciting Warwick Summer Games co-ordinated by my Sports Officer, Yu Quan and the many different Sports Representatives. Regardless of our results and scores, I would like to commend every participant for their dedication to the sport and for maintaining a high level of sportsmanship throughout. And we finally reached the final event on our Summer calendar, UKBound 2014-Impulse. This is the 16th year ICSS has been running this keynote event that is uniquely ICSS. Many many thanks to Sameer, my Events Officer who has organised this event and pulled the Exco together for the execution for this event. The event saw the participation of more than 15 universities which fulfilled its purpose, to draw as many UK schools as possible for 1 combined event before we all leave for our studies. We will aim to include more schools in future. Thank you to everyone who turned up for the event! This Summer has been hectic for the Exco, but ultimately our hopes remains that the members start to see ICSS as a Family, to build a home away from home when we are in London. Like all relationships, it takes time and effort to build. Sometimes it takes a couple of drops of tears and a few heartbreaks. But these will only serve to strengthen the bonds between us, to learn to accept each other for who we truly are. Hence, Family. Read on for more updates regarding what's in store for you guys in the months ahead! :) In the mean time, I hope that, for both Seniors and Freshers alike, you guys have enjoyed your summer and have a safe flight back to London. See you guys really soon! :) -Clive Aw ------------------------------ 2.
