6th October 2016 marked the first ever SMU Sailing Alumni's networking night where alumni spanning across the various batches returned to SMU to support the inaugural event. From the pioneering sailing batch to the incoming Executive Committee, more than 12 generations of SMU Sailors gathered at the SMU Alumni Bistro - B3, to catch up with sailors old and new over a good meal.
Calvin Lim Zhi Yang (BBM, 2014) said, "It was a really fun event held at our very own SMU alumni "bar" at B3 and everyone had a great time catching up with each other. Thanks to the SMU Office of Alumni Relations for making this possible."
Part of the SMU Interaction Night series to facilitate meaningful interactions and build a deeper engagement among students and alumni, over 40 alumni had a great time catching up with old pals and making new friends.
"It's heartwarming to see everyone back in school, reminiscing the good old days while sailing, even though we are all carving out a career. Looking forward to the next event!" said Mok Zhi Wei (BAcc, 2015).
Current student Clement Lim Hao Yang from LKCSB commented, "I thought that the night was a really great experience for all of us undergrads. Apart from the regular alumni faces that we see from social events and sailing training/competitions that we organise, it was heartening to see the early batches of alumni coming down to grace this occasion. Hopefully future sessions would continue attract more and more alumni, such that one day, we would be able fit the WHOLE SMU Sailing family into a single picture."
