Welcoming the SMU Class of 2019 to the Alumni Family Congratulations to the 2,837 newly minted alumni from the SMU Class of 2019, who officially graduated at Commencement this year! Held between 30 July - 2 August at the School of Law, the four days saw many heartwarming scenes of graduates with their friends, families, and professors, who had gathered to celebrate this special milestone. As our 16th batch joins the ranks of the trailblazers before them, we reached out to the SMU SPH Valedictorian, Eugene Tan (BAcc & BBM 2019), and SMU Salutatorian, Tan Rui Feng (BBM & BSocSc 2019), to hear their thoughts on the road that brought them to this point, and what lies ahead for our fresh graduates.
