The SMU Industry Night series provides a platform for alumni in the same industry to meet and expand their professional networks. This event (last of 6 in the series this year) is organised for alumni in advertising, public relations, marketing, media and digital planning. Organised by Alumni Group, SMUpreneurs, alumni start-ups in the media space are also invited to expand their networks and to create meaningful partnerships. Come network with alumni and industry professionals over food and drinks at Level 45, Singapore Land Tower, 50 Raffles Place, whilst enjoying stunning views of Marina Bay A 2014 alumni survey highlighted the importance of skills upgrading. Since 2015, such courses have been organised under the OAR Professional Development Series. Two forthcoming courses are: 1st Nov, 6.30pm for Alumni Mentors: The course 'Coaching: Helping Me, Helping You', provides Alumni Mentors with better understanding of the mentoring process and enables them to coach more effectively. 5th Nov, 9.30am for Alumni Leaders: This training course provides alumni serving as Alumni Ambassadors and in SMUAA and Alumni Groups greater self-awareness, and enables them to realise their full potential.

In 2000, a few adventurous students with a passion for extreme sports came together to start SMUXtremist (SMUX). Since then the numbers have morphed, with hundreds each year pushing physical and mental boundaries to engage in outdoor adventure trekking, kayaking, mountain biking, diving, skating, and sea and mountain expeditions. Come 21st October, these like-minded outdoor enthusiasts, both students and alumni, will share their love for adventure at SMUX Interaction Night, at B3 Alumni Bistro (B1 SMU Concourse, below SIS Building). Join them in planning the next adventure!
