SMU CIRCLE - July 2018

SMU
JULY 2018     alumni.smu.edu.sg / alumni@smu.edu.sg

A warm welcome to the Class of 2018 to the SMU alumni family! With the addition of this year's cohort, our alumni population is now over 24,000 strong. In this July issue, we speak to our newest graduates and newly minted Class Alumni Representatives, Yap Teik Kym (SOL 2018), Kevin Wong & Peter Yap (both EMBA 2018), to reminisce their fondest university experiences.

For our "freshie" alumni, don't forget to check out the Upcoming Events calendar to make full use of SMU Office of Alumni Relations (OAR)'s suite of activities, as well as the Career & Professional Development column for job opportunities. Last but not least, although your matriculation cards will expire soon, it doesn't have to be "closing time" for you - sign up for your own gold SMUAA membership card to continue using the Library and other campus facilities!

See you at Commencement 2018 and OAR events!

Birthday Pool Party for MAC alumni

MAC hosted the Yangon BSM on 30 June

The Myanmar Alumni Chapter (MAC) sure knows how to celebrate in style! To mark the birthdays of 5 alumni born in May, MAC held a 2D1N pool party at Sunny Cove, an hour drive away from Yangon. From their happy faces, it is safe to say they had a ball of a time!

MAC also had the pleasure of hosting our undergraduate students during their Yangon Business Study Mission (BSM), led by Professor Tom Estad, on 30 June. It was a meaningful experience for the students, to meet with the SMU network in the course of their global learning. The alumni were also grateful for the opportunity to pay it forward by sharing their experiences and insights with the students.

Any alumni traveling or relocating to Myanmar can get in touch with MAC at mac@smuaa.org.sg.

Looking to travel or relocate overseas? Please let us know (samwu@smu.edu.sg) or contact our SMU overseas alumni chapter presidents or representatives
