Please welcome Suhana Grewal, joining  LTW this week as Community Engagement & Events intern in WAC and Aaron McHale in the Web Development Team. You may have seen Aaron around the place before as he joins us from CAM.

Welcome back Lorna Campbell, we have missed you.

Congratulations to everyone who made it into the ISG Review 2025.mov

I am looking forward to showcasing the innovation work of our interns at the LTW All-Staff meeting on 15^th December. Section heads have been alerted to changes in how we will recruit our summer interns, and the date for processing requests has become earlier and earlier, have a think in your teams about the interns you might want and how our community will work in the new location.
