On 16 July 2025, CDE hosted the NUS 120th Anniversary Charity Golf event at the Sentosa Golf Club.
The event brought together alumni, industry partners, and friends of CDE in support of a meaningful cause, raising funds to support students in financial need.
The event began with a shotgun tee-off of 36 flights at the Serapong course, where players enjoyed friendly competition, fine weather, and great company. Following the tournament, the golfers gathered for an appreciation dinner, joined by many of our generous donors who have supported the College’s mission.
Thanks to the generosity of donors and the enthusiastic participation of the golfing community, the fundraising goal of $700,000 for this event was surpassed. With funds already raised from a year-long fundraising campaign launched in December 2024, over $2.87 million has been raised so far in support of student bursaries.
During the dinner, CDE Dean, Professor Teo Kie Leong reiterated the College’s commitment to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of financial background.
Mr Seah, Co-Chair, Alumni Advisory Board and member of the Organising Committee of the event said “One of the best things about being a volunteer champion in NUS is that it keeps me interacting with the students. I hear their stories, their challenges, their aspirations, their hopes and dreams. Every year, at the bursary interviews, I am inspired by the students’ desire to better themselves despite their challenging circumstances. And I come away with the motivation to find the next $25,000 for a sub-named bursary, so that I can help one more needy student every year”.
