In celebration of their 5th-year milestone, the Class of 2018 from Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) organised a heartwarming anniversary dinner. The event, supported by the Office of Alumni Relations and the Industrial Systems Engineering and Management (ISEM) department, was held at the National University of Singapore Society Suntec City Guild House on 29 July, bringing together over 30 alumni, faculty members, and current ISE undergraduates. The affair, planned by the ISE class of 2018 student club committee, emphasised the importance of fostering strong connections within the NUS community. By rekindling old friendships and forming new connections, the event encouraged a robust exchange of ideas and experiences, nurturing a support system that extends far beyond the confines of the university. During the event various Master's programmes offered by ISEM and CMS faculties were showcased. Additionally, the event sought to promote the expansion of the ISEM alumni network, fostering a sense of unity and mutual support among graduates. One of the highlights of the evening was the invitation extended to current ISE undergraduates. This offered them a unique opportunity to engage with their seniors, gain valuable insights into the post-graduation journey, and receive guidance for their future careers. Overall, the 5th-year anniversary dinner served as a meaningful gathering, exemplifying the spirit of camaraderie shared by the Class of 2018, with a strong commitment to nurturing a thriving ISE community.
