I’m part of the Publicity team with Isabel where we will come up with awesome adverts and promos for CUMaS, making sure to fill them with terrible puns, and jokes.

I’d be more than happy to get any suggestions you may have for MNight but I must warn you I’m very opinionated and have a clear idea for where I want things to go in MNight. I will not hesitate to shoot down a bad/ridiculous/unfeasible idea. Approach with caution.

Interesting Facts about Me: She is a first-year lawyer at Lucy Cavendish college. She is passionate about education, human rights and philosophy. When she is not busy organizing social events for CUMAS, she can be found debating, dancing, doing Yoga or rowing on the river Camb. She always wonders where can she find time for her studies. Having to take a twenty-month gap year before university was actually a blessing in disguise for her! She found herself travelling, running, swimming, cooking, dancing, diving, trekking, teaching in Sawarak, joining an expedition in Sabah and a cultural programme in India.

Engineering in Peterhouse
?technical@cumas.org

Hey guys! as your technical officer this year, I deal with everything regarding technical/IT issues, mainly managing website’s content. However, this does not mean that I should be the first person that come in your mind to look for to fix your computer if your computer crashes! I don’t provide that kind of technical support hehe 😛 I’m also interested in graphic design as well, so if you need any help with designiing stuffs, please feel free to email me and I’ll definitely try to help out. I also welcome any free suggestions to improve the website or even the logo design if you dislike it (just joking, do email me if you have any particular idea in mind!)

Interesting Facts about Me: Most of the people are generally confused about my name because any three words of my name can be a surname. (Hint: “Ler Song” is not my given name :)) Besides, I’m still trying to figure out which hairstyle suits me the best, but I believe there is a possibility that the answer to this may never be found.

Lastly, if you’re thinking of getting any items for CUMaS, plase let me know so I can store it for future use (if my room still has space :P).

External Officer - AMANDA SIM External Officer: AMANDA SIM 
Engineering in Gonville and Caius
?externalofficer@cumas.org

Aloha~ It’s Amanda, your external officer (also known as outreach officer) here. My job is to organise outreach events throughout Malaysia and also arrange mock interviews for Cambridge applicants. I’m here to dispel the myths about anything that has got to do with Cambridge. After all, anything that you see on the internet is not always true. I’m a person who loves playing tennis but hates using sunblock, which explains why I used to be so tanned. But since coming to the UK, the weather here has lightened my skin a lot and you wouldn’t even believe how dark my skin was!

Interesting Facts about Me: Always enjoy talking to friends over a cup of tea in a nice and quiet place! This might be the reason why I haven’t been to a single club in Cambridge.
