You, Me and our University

Finding solutions to the defining challenges of our time seems nigh impossible. But with an interdisciplinary mindset, we are halfway there. 

Does the worst of times really bring out the best in people? In the wake of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, individuals and organisations alike are pondering this question and taking a second look at their own contributions to society. NUS is no exception. 

University traditions reveal a great deal about the character and values of an institution. Even as NUS’ traditions have evolved and adapted to keep up with changing times and extraordinary events, its core values are unshakeable. 

Now counted among the world’s top universities, NUS is contemplating its next move as a globally-oriented institution. The University has set its sights closer than you might think: on neighbouring Asian countries. 

In today’s tech-enabled economy, the nature of work is changing — and with it, the perennial debate about work-life balance. This issue is far from clear-cut for NUS graduates, as The AlumNUS finds out. 

As NUS strives to create a smarter, safer and more sustainable campus, The AlumNUS looks at the thinking behind the spirit of continuous evolution on Kent Ridge and speaks to some of those who are helping to make this happen.

Two hundred years after Sir Stamford Raffles established a trading port here, Singaporeans are still thinking about who we really are as a country. And that — according to the NUS academics and alumni across various disciplines — may actually be what unites us.

The Academic Year 2018/2019 got off to a bold start with the launch of NUS' new Vision, Mission and Values, which aim to take the University to even greater heights.
