In an evening marked by gratitude, celebration, and a glimpse into the transformative impact of philanthropy, CDE recently hosted more than 150 donors and their guests at an Appreciation Dinner held at the Conrad Centennial Hotel, Singapore.

Opening the evening’s events, CDE Acting Dean Prof Teo Kie Leong, thanked the College’s donors “whose unwavering support has been essential in enabling us to embark on a journey to make a meaningful impact on society through education, research, and innovation.”

“Your generosity has transformed lives, reshaped futures, and continues to drive the trajectory of our endeavours,” he said. “It is an honour to express our profound gratitude for your invaluable contributions.”

Prof Teo highlighted how donor contributions had helped and continue to support many students in need to achieve a university education and global exposure. Through the generosity of donors, 270 donated bursaries have been raised for CDE students to date. Donors have contributed substantially to CDE’s commitment to ensure no student is left behind.

Donors and partners have also joined wholeheartedly in CDE’s vision of building a better future for all by supporting research and donated professorships with particular emphasis on the College’s work in sustainability. Donated professorships are not only crucial in drawing and supporting top talent in critical areas, but they are also a means to catalyse outreach, foster networking and support the sharing of expertise across sectors.
