Dear students and colleagues
I hope your academic year has started off on a positive note. I believe our students must be excited about the various activities that take place during this time, such as camps, Rag and Flag, club elections, and interfaculty games. These activities are an essential part of the undergraduate experience, and we at CDE are committed to creating a vibrant and connected community for everyone, including our donors and alumni.
Recently, we hosted a Donor Appreciation Movie Night, where we brought together over 500 donors and alumni. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to reminisce about shared experiences and connect over their passion for giving back to the community.
Our donors and alumni play a crucial role in driving positive change, and we are delighted to partner with them on projects that make a real difference. The James Dyson Foundation is one of our generous partners, providing us with funds to support the Innovation & Design Hub, the Artist-in-Residence programme, and the bGood initiative.
The annual Commencement Class Giving is another initiative that helps connect us as partners for change. This is a longstanding NUS tradition and a symbol of our new graduates giving back as a class to support their juniors.
I hope CDE staff and students join us in this network for change, contributing in their own way towards creating a meaningful impact.
