The various circles of friends formed during university days are often the greatest takeaways of every SMU alumnus after graduation. Whether they were there to tackle the toughest projects together, inspire you to reach higher ground, or simply to give you advice, our friends can be counted on to be there for you when you need them. And sometimes, they could be heroes in our lives as well. After all, not all superheroes wear capes.
In this issue, we celebrate some of the friendships that have left a lasting impact, and how these invaluable ties have been galvanising forces for greater causes and ground-up initiatives that impact the SMU community.

DANIEL SELVAKUMAR
(BSOCSC 2015)
Sheena NEO (BSocsc 2016)
PIRAKASH T. (BBM 2015)
BenJAMIN ChIA (BBM 2015) |
|
Sheena Neo, Pirakash T., and Benjamin Chia have one thing in common - they all know and love a fellow SMU classmate, Daniel Selvakumar. Daniel, a vivacious, charismatic, eloquent leader, led life to the fullest. What was special about Daniel however was the fact that he was born with a complex congenital heart disease with slim chances of surviving past childhood. However, Daniel never let his condition hamper him from achieving his goals and dreams. In fact, so infectious was his unwavering philosophy on living life to the fullest that his energy and positive attitude galvanised everyone around him.
Unfortunately, Daniel passed away two weeks before his 25th birthday. However, it would appear that Daniel had no regrets. A book, Stay Gold: An Almost Healthy Boy in a Mostly Healthy World, has been written, celebrating his life and capturing stories shared by his parents, and the people he made an impact on. His buddies, Sheena, Pirakash and Benjamin, organised a Book Launch commemorating Daniel's life and memory eternal.

HAFIZ KASMAN (BBM 2017)
Founder & Advisor,
The Mentoring Circle |
|
Hafiz Kasman has been quite literally a poster boy for SMU, having appeared in SMU's various marketing campaigns. A Summa Cum Laude graduate and one of the first three recipients of MERCU-SMU Excellence Scholarship for Malay Singaporean undergraduates, there is much to be admired about Hafiz. Most crucially, he also has a heart for the community. Feeling that a buddy system for local undergraduates at SMU was lacking, he gathered his friends and formed The Mentoring Circle - an incredible, ground-up collective effort, spurred by a desire to improve the learning and student life experience of Year 1 and 2 students.
