16th July 2013
Well, hello there, it’s me again! Surprised? Ecstatic? Overcome with positive and confusing but nonetheless positive emotions? Oh, you sweet-talker, you. I bet you say that about all your Publicity Officers.
So first off, with summer break in full swing, and the sun trying to set me on fire, I hope you guys are enjoying your holiday. Travelling, friends, good weather, family, food… Life’s pretty good, guys. What else could you want?
Oh, I know.
Maybe this CUMaSKini.
There you go, now everything is perfect.
So, while term is out for a few months, there are still a few things going on. Here’s a quick heads up!
First off, this August, we will be having our very first Alumni Networking Gathering which will mark the launch of our upcoming initiative: the Oxbridge Mentorship Programme. Check below for all the details. Also, there will be limited spaces so be sure to sign-up quick below if you’re interested!
On the same day, we will also be having the Oxbridge Debate at Sunway University College, just nearby where we will be having the Alumni event, so be sure to pop in to give your support to our Cambridge debaters (or Oxford if that’s more your thing, I won’t judge) (Yes I will).
Also, Asia Recruit are looking for quantitative researchers in a research subsidiary of a US headquartered investment management company. Graduates, if you are interested please do check the e-mail below for all the details.
Have a good summer!
Yang pergi mamak,
CUMaS Committee 2013/2014
1. Alumni Networking Gathering
Come down and meet some of our alumni this August! We believe building and maintaining a good relationship with past alumni will benefit not only our society as a whole, but our members as well. So this summer, CUMaS and They-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named aka the Empire aka the Dark Side aka the Oxbridge Society of Malaysia are coming together in a joint project: the Oxbridge Mentorship Programme.
The Oxbridge Mentorship Programme will likely be in the same vein as our CUMaS parenting system where a Mentor will be offering you advice on your future career or internships and all that jazz.
Find out about all the details on the sign-up sheet!

Which brings us to our next event…
2. The Oxbridge Debate
“THIS HOUSE BELIEVES UNIVERSITY EDUCATION SHOULD BE FREE”
Yay? Nay? Whatever your opinion, be sure to check the debate out, even if only to indulge in some old school Oxbridge name-calling. But putting petty rivalry aside (never), it promises to be an interesting and incredibly current and relevant debate, so check it out.
