NUS Engineering Alumni Award Ceremony

The NUS Engineering Alumni Awards Ceremony was held at the NUSS Kent Ridge Guild House on 5 February 2021. This ceremony is usually held as part of the annual NUS Engineering Gala Dinner but this time, it was scaled to meet current safe distancing restrictions.

Despite the smaller arrangement, the guests had fun catching up with one another and their departments. Professor Aaron Voon-Yew Thean, Dean of NUS Engineering, was also present at the event and he was glad that everyone was able to come together to celebrate the achievements of our esteemed alumni.
