How to Make Data Speak?
On November 13, the NUS Alumni San Francisco Chapter organised an interesting alumni event with Sachin Tonk (Business '16) on data analytics moderated by Chapter Chairperson, Anuj Jagannathan (Business '16). The session highlighted topics such as structured versus unstructured data, data scientists versus data artists, and how to tell a story with data.

This webinar was one of its kind; it was open to multiple NUS Alumni Chapters and had attendees from around the world. This opens a new trend on shared events by NUS Alumni Chapters that are open to alumni in multiple locations.

Au Revoir, Hon Sui Sen Memorial Library!
The NUS Business School community bid L2 & L3 a tearful goodbye as the library prepares to undergo a major facelift to make space for new seminar rooms for future generations of BIZADers.

The Hon Sui Sen Memorial Library was decorated with balloons and Latin music gave the party its relaxed atmosphere. All who attended were delighted to have the opportunity to network with NUS BIZ alumni and to meet with the Dean and other professors, especially in this age of AI and innovation.

The Hon Sui Sen Memorial Library Renovation Party included ‘Back to School’ learning about AI, where Prof David De Cremer gave a talk on “Leadership by Algorithm: Who leads and Who Follows in the AI era?". Prof Duan Jin-Chuan also delivered a talk titled “Am I Digitally Literate?”.

There was also lots of fun leaving handprints on the wall, with many enthusiastically leaving their mark with spray paints (a first time for many!), and enjoyable conversations over coffee, curry puffs, and kit-kats.

To support the refurbishment of the Hon Sui Sen Memorial Library, the NUS Business School has also launched a fundraising campaign. For more details, please send an email to xupiao@nus.edu.sg.
