Masterclass by LKYSPP Alumni Singapore Chapter

09 April

Negotiation happens in every aspect of our lives – from the workplace, between businesses and even amongst friends and family. Often, the outcome of a negotiation can affect the relationships between people. Identifying this need from alumni to upgrade their negotiation skills, the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) Alumni Singapore Chapter organised a Masterclass titled Negotiating towards Success, held in the Bukit Timah Campus on 9 April 2022. Associate Professor Francesco Mancini, the School’s Vice Dean (Executive Education) and Associate Professor in Practice conducted the class, which saw participation from 18 alumni. Attendees comprised eight cohorts and five nationalities – learning in a diverse environment that LKYSPP was known for; alumni relished their time back on campus.

College of Design and Engineering - Alumni Chat with the Dean

NUS College of Design and Engineering (CDE) held its first Alumni Chat with the Dean on 8 April 2022. About 60 alumni took time off from their busy schedules to join the panel discussion via Zoom, discussing how CDE, as a new college, could better engage with alumni. The Dean shared the aspirations of CDE: to build a new community, to unite diverse minds and talents, to foster interdisciplinary spirit, and to innovate design and engineering – which resonated with attendees gathered that evening. Beyond generic one-time engagement, alumni also raised that more opportunities should be created and made known for them to connect with their alma mater in more meaningful ways. They urged the College to consider more structured forms of engagement which can bring value to alumni, via collaborations or channels to support alumni businesses, or assist in their professional development. This could be done through student-alumni joint projects where alumni tap on CDE’s research talents, or even in unique ways such as sharing "passion projects". CDE hopes to continue working closely with key alumni partners, as the alumni base is an integral part of the extended CDE community.

Kent Ridge Hall Class Ambassadors Investiture 2022
On 24 March, Kent Ridge Hall held the Class Ambassadors Investiture 2022. The ceremony reflects the values of engagement and connection that the Hall recognised in the award recipients. Kent Ridge Hall is pleased to appoint Mr Sing Hui, a Year 4 Civil Engineering student and Mr Alvianto Pang, a Year 4 Economics student as this year’s Class Ambassadors. Donning the mantle of leadership and responsibility as Kent Ridgeans, the newly-appointed Class Ambassadors pledged their utmost dedication to function as a bridge between alumni and current Kent Ridgeans.

The event was also graced by Mr Jaffer Sidek, who was a former Kent Ridge KRockers in the 1980s. His presence rekindled the students’ identity with Kent Ridge Hall. The ceremony ended with an inspiring speech by Hall Master, Associate Professor Kua Harn Wei (Science ‘96), which further stirred the hearts of Kent Ridgeans.
