MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN!

NUS CDE Professor Teo Kie Leong greeting

Dear students, alumni, colleagues, and partners of CDE,

This January, we marked a significant milestone in the CDE journey with its 5th anniversary and the unveiling of a new community space, The Lodge. Located on Level 2 of Techno Edge near existing amenities, it is the latest addition to our campus enhancements for students and is designed to foster connection and collaboration. Spaces can serve as bridges to our past and evoke deep emotions. I hope this space inspires our students to create lasting memories of friendship, shared experiences, and meaningful connections that will accompany them into the future and reflect the true spirit of the CDE community.

Professor Teo Kie Leong
