5th year reunion for class of 2012

17 august 2017

smu sports union (ssu) interaction night

smu alumni privilege programme 

Time flies! It's been five years since the Class of 2012 left SMU! It is time to reconnect and revive the friendships of yesteryears! Meet your peers, faculty, and staff at the 5th Year Reunion on 6th July 2017. To make it more convenient for you, the event will be held in the heart of the Central Business District – at Angie's Oyster Bar, 45th floor Singapore Land Tower Building. So come relive the memories of good times and much-cherished moments, whilst enjoying splendid views of Marina Bay! Register here. One of the biggest SMU Constituent Bodies, generations of alumni have passed through SMU Sports Union, participating in some 40 land and sea sports. Those were great times sharing and celebrating the love of sports! To bring the fraternity together, an “Interaction Night” will be organised for the SSU family on 17th August 2017. So join us at the University Lounge, Level 6 of SMU Admin Building, for an evening of collegial sharing and camaraderie, and perhaps a revival of your interest in sports! Sign up here The newly-launched SMU Alumni Privilege Programme is growing bigger, with more merchants joining the programme. You can enjoy these privileges at the touch of your finger tips by downloading your virtual SMU alumni card through the SMU Mobile app. For instance, if you are looking for a staycation venue, Far East Hospitality offers special room rates, exclusively for SMU alumni, at 11 hotels in Singapore at rates from as low as $120 for a 2D1N weekend. Stay tuned for more monthly privileges.

inspiring alumni

soon kian yong (bbm / bacc 2012) & yap zhi xin (bbm / bsc (econs) 2011)

smu ballare alumni group 

Soon Kian Yong (BBM/BAcc 2012) and Yap Zhi Xin (BBM/BSc (Econs) 2011) met in SMU as dance partners pursuing their love for ballroom dancing. To ensure that the dancing never stops, they became partners for life! Together the dancing duo have won multiple awards at local and international dance competitions. Despite their hectic work and dance training schedules, they continue to volunteer their time coaching their ballroom dancing juniors in SMU. To maintain a cohesive alumni ballroom dancing community, they decided to set up the SMU Ballare Alumni Group this year. Hear from the duo as they share how they have benefited from experiences beyond the classroom.
