SMU CIRCLE - February 2021

 
 
Message from the Director

SMU celebrates her 21st anniversary this year and in this first issue of SMU CIRCLE, we get up close and personal with SMU President Professor Lily Kong, as she shares her thoughts and her dreams for SMU in an exclusive interview with alumnus Terence Quek (MCM 2013).

Turning the spotlight on a father-and-son duo, find out how Fu Haoren's (LLB 2014 and BBM 2014) transformative education at SMU inspired his father, Allan Foo, to pursue his SMU Executive Masters of Business Administration in 2012.

Don’t miss ‘Alumni Around the World’ as we ‘Zoomed’ over to Taiwan and met SMU pioneer graduate Adora Chong (BBM 2004). Read her story to find out what keeps her ‘growing’ in the same company for over 17 years.

Finally, meet three-time alumna, Dr Josephine Tan, who completed the grand slam of doing her BBM, MBA, and DBA…all with SMU!

Do let us know your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions for SMU CIRCLE at alumni@smu.edu.sg.

Happy reading!
