It\u2019s been a busy week, with lots of researching, planning and organising the first stages of the ICS festival. Our main focus this week has been gathering our best ideas for the festival like what events we could put on, creating a brand and how we can make a name for ourselves. All of these initial thoughts will be presented to the LLAS staff and interns on Monday morning, so we\u2019re spending this afternoon getting the last bits ready!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 11pt\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">Luckily, on Thursday we had a welcome break from work, when we met with all of the LLAS team and the other former and current students that are also interning in our department. It was great to finally get the whole group together and share information about each other\u2019s projects. We\u2019re really looking forward to hearing about their projects\u2019 progress, and on Monday everyone will be joining us for our presentation to see how far we\u2019ve got. Earlier this week we also met Maddy, last year\u2019s ICS intern, who is now working as the Welcome Programme Assistant with the International Office. We discussed links that we could establish between ICS and the International Office, and we hope to involve the pre-sessional students that Maddy works with in our preparation for the festival. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 11pt\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Stay tuned for our next update on Friday 17<\/span><sup><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: small\">th<\/span><\/sup><span style=\"color: #000000\">!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_130\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ics\/files\/2015\/07\/SDC14500.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-130\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-130\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ics\/files\/2015\/07\/SDC14500-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"All the LLAS interns and staff\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ics\/files\/2015\/07\/SDC14500-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ics\/files\/2015\/07\/SDC14500-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ics\/files\/2015\/07\/SDC14500-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-130\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">All the LLAS interns and staff<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone!
