Dear students, alumni, colleagues, and partners of CDE,
It has been quite a vibrant start to 2024 here in CDE.
We hosted CDE's Donor Appreciation Dinner on 19 January and welcomed more than 150 donors and their guests to a celebration of their generosity. Donors continue to support our students, education and research initiatives, joining us in our mission to inspire, innovate and transform. CDE would not be able to achieve as much as it has without their contributions. Through a showcase of projects that have blossomed from their contributions, we hope that we have shown our donors that they are very much a part of the extended CDE Community.
The CDE community spirit was also in full force at the 3rd CDE Day on 24 January. Spearheaded by our Office of Student Life with the support of the student clubs and others, CDE Day was a riotous welcome back to campus for our students and an opportunity to reconnect before the anticipated workload of Semester 2 and exams! I was very heartened to see so many staff and faculty members joining the fun, mingling with our students and chatting as they nibbled on the food provided.
It is this connectedness that is the true strength of this College. That we can so easily come together - be it donors, alumni, students or staff - is a testament to the value of shared experiences, bringing with it a sense of belonging to CDE. I look forward to many more opportunities to build bonds in the College.
I would like to end by wishing everyone who celebrates the Chinese New Year much happiness, good health, and prosperity in the year ahead.
Professor Teo Kie Leong
