31st October 2014
Good day everyone and congratulations for making it through half of Michaelmas! Here’s a CUMaSKini for fun and cheer *throws virtual confetti*
Also note that this newsletter contains quite a number of reminders which include: the Malaysian Food Festival (I’m pretty sure you saw the nasi lemak photo on our Facebook page– it’s hard to ignore isn’t it?), Nottingham Games, and Oxford Science Fair.
Yang sangat gembira,
CUMaS Committee 2014/2015
1. Shell Meet and Greet Session
https://www.facebook.com/events/651700778277663/?ref=ts&fref=ts
Date: 1st November (tomorrow!)
Venue: Sidgwick Hall, Newnham College
Time 2pm to 4pm
Shell, our platinum sponsors will be holding a short meet and greet/ information session this Saturday (1 Nov). It’ll be a great time to find out more about the opportunities that the company offers for penultimate year as well as graduate students. Don’t worry if you don’t fall into either category. We will still welcome you and you could probably get some tips on how to prepare for applications next year.
It would be really helpful if you click attending on the Facebook event so we roughly know how many people are coming.
2. Dino Swap 2014
https://www.facebook.com/events/840582975991872/?fref=ts
Sign-ups Here: http://goo.gl/forms/
For those that doesn’t know what DINO SWAP is, it’s a SWAP between DINOs and freshers! (haha, you don’t say!) It all started in 2009, when malaysians feel that they are not mixing with the “older/younger” people enough, so a swap between them is held every year since then.
It’s one of the few events where the ratio of DINOs to freshers are close to 1:1, not something that you’ll get in any other event!! (shameless promoting….)
Event details as below:
Date: 8th November (Sat)
Time: 7.00-9.30pm
Venue: TBC
Price: Around £15 (TBC), which includes dinner + wine
PS: There’ll be alcohol involved
PPS: Dinos are 3rd years and older (if you don’t already know)
Signups here: http://goo.gl/forms/

6. iCUSU Talent Show Sub-Committee
CUSU Talent Show Sub-committee is recruiting!
It’s the first time ever for iCUSU to hold the International Talent Show which will be the highlight of this year. As many of us know, quite a few international societies hold annual balls at the start of Lent term. Our aim is to draw the best performances from all the balls and combine them with the shows selected through our audition process to create a real international talent show. All profits will go to charity.
Rather than waiting for the show to be delivered in front of you, YOU could be the one to make this happen and shape the final outcome.
What are you waiting for? Give it a go and come to our interview! (time and venue TBC). Please contact Cherry(yt301) if you are interested!
