Alumni Stories

For as long as Kenny Khoo (BBM 2010) can remember, music, and choral music in particular, has been his passion. One might even think that his life has been one that is inextricably intertwined with choral music, from being part of the SYC Ensemble Singers (previously the “Singapore Youth Choir”) to the SAF Music and Drama Company, to co-founding the SMU Chamber Choir in 2007 and coming back full circle to being its conductor today.

 

It has been a decade since Yue Lin (BAcc 2010) graduated, and while she has been through various exciting life experiences since, she still holds fond memories of her undergraduate days in SMU.  One of the most cherished memories at SMU would be the friendships forged between classmates and professors. They have indirectly shaped her life and career choices.

“We have about 110 alumni on our SMU-UBS Chat Group,” says Jeremy Chan (MAF 2003), Director (Management Support – Process Quality Specialist Lead) at UBS Singapore. 

Internship opportunities and gearing undergraduates for work life have been fundamental to SMU’s approach to a holistic education. Our alumni, having experienced such benefits, are naturally more than happy to share these opportunities with their juniors.
