The vacation is meant to be a break from work and there’s plenty of time until exam term. Good luck to everyone who’s been writing applications for vacation schemes. Early

Lent tends to be filled with assessment centres and Watson Glaser tests. It can be a stressful time with rejection emails and having to constantly rearrange supervisions, but just know that it’ll all pay off in the end. There will be lots of careers events in Lent term, which will be designed to help with assessment centres and interviews. Lent term is set to be packed with events, so keep an eye on our Facebook and download the CULS app, made by CULS’s incredible webmaster, to keep up to date with this

term’s events. We will also be hosting the Annual Dinner Ball towards the end of term, which will celebrate the handing over of the Society to the new committee. The Executive elections will be taking place on the 2rd February. Details on how to run have been emailed out, and can also be found under the blog section of the CULS website. Finally, a huge thank you to the CULS committee for running such a fantastic Michaelmas term, and all their hard work over the vacation in preparation for Lent. Best wishes, Lucia Azzi CULS President 2017-18

President: The President is responsible for the overall running and direction of the society as well as securing sponsorship deals, which facilitate all of the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Prior administrative and commercial negotiating experience is highly useful for this role. Vice-President: The Vice President supports the president in establishing the overall running of the society. The VP continuously liaises with all the departments of the society along with the President and ensures the smooth running of all the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities. Another job of the VP is organising stash. Stash is vital for building up funds, which facilitate the many fantastic events CULS puts on.
