June Update

Hi teachers and members! These are the activities that we have done in June:

1) Analysed the Premed Health Survey.
2) Published and evaluated the survey and made recommendations to the college about it.

In July, we plan to:
1) Do a visit to IMU (17 July)
2) Participate in Taylor's Carnival by opening a stall and recruit new members on the 31st July.

BTW, our AGM will be on the 4th of August, from 3 to 4pm at LT7.
Hopefully all of you can come (take note, attendance will be recorded) as we'll be recaping our progress, future events and collecting names for new EXCO posts.

Thank you.
