It was an enriching evening for an estimated 130 members and guests who attended the NUSS Professorship Lecture on 3 September at Kent Ridge Guild House, Della & Seng Gee Guild Hall.

This Professorship is part of NUSS's efforts to contribute to the development of meaningful interactions with its alma mater through academic pursuits.
