Giving Back, Imagining Better "It is not about giving large sums of money, but thinking back to the fun times we spent in SMU, the opportunities we gained and the things we learnt - if our contribution can be the enabler for someone else to experience the same, it is truly money well spent." - Geoffrey Goh, BSc(ISM) 2015 What inspires alumni to give back? This month, we catch up with two alumni donors, Cindy Leong and Geoffrey Goh, who recounted the fond memories and learning opportunities from their SMU days. Although both had taken different paths after graduation, they share the SMU ethos of contributing to society, and in this case, their alma mater.
