From Seniors: Dentistry and Medical Convo Mag Survey

Hey guys, its Arthur.

As you know, the end of our Sem 5 is approaching (or beginning, for you medicals ;P) and so a few of us have to write some articles for our convomag. Me and Amy Chen were given the task of writing up an article apiece on which gender makes the better dentist, male or female. SO, to aid us in getting solid data we created this here survey (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7VWG3KY), and I was wondering if you could just email it to the batch reps of every batch in IMU, along with the faculty so we can write our articles with some statistics instead of just some opinions and convictions.

Thanks a lot!

Facility Announcements

Dear all,

There is a Student Lounge survey to be done - which is especially important because we need to (realistictly) until what time the student lounge should be open. We have got quite a mixed response on this so we would really appreciate your feedback on this! It will be closed on 1st of March.

Recycle Bins

As some are aware, there have been recycle bins placed around campus for over two months now. This was an initiative taken by Facilities and Management and SRC. We hope students will use them well and will only put the appropriate items in the appropriate bins.

The bins at LG, near the Canteen and Darts area are for Plastic, Paper and Cans.
The bins that are placed near the escalators are for Plastic only.
They are the round bins with the recycle stickers on them.

Gym News

SRC, the Gym Club and SSD are working towards improving the gym facilities. We have completed the maintenance of the current equipment and the airconditioner and placed lockers inside the gym for people to place their valuables in whilst exercising.

We are currently working on purchasing new equipment and improving ventilation.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah
