First Year Induction into LitSoc

Is Molière your nom de plume or Saki your alter ego?

Then you need to be in the LitSoc!!

LitSoc, Jus Cultura is looking to induct new members from the first year. The induction process consists of a preliminary essay writing competition, followed by an interview of those selected for the same.

The induction essay competition for the first years will take place on July 28, 2010, Wednesday, in the Acad Block at 5:30 pm in the second year classroom. The topics will be given on the spot.

A few thumb rules:

1. Entries must only be in English.
2. No word limit/format (So bring it on!!)

That's it! See you there...
