Dear students and colleagues,
I had the honour of attending the Annual College of Design and Engineering Alumni Awards and the NUS Alumni Awards earlier this month. The College recognised the achievements of nineteen individuals and two alumni teams, while the University celebrated two outstanding alumni for their significant contributions to society and our alma mater.
The 2023 award recipients represent a diverse array of fields, including architecture, design and engineering. Despite their diverse backgrounds, the three distinguished CDE Distinguished Alumni, Dr Teo Ho Pin (Building, Class of 1985), Mr Brian Tan (Mechanical Engineering, Class of 2000), and Mr Mok Wei Wei (Architecture, Class of 1982), —share a common passion for making a meaningful impact. Their contributions include raising scholarship funds, offering mentorship, and creating opportunities for current students through industry engagement and internships.
It was truly inspiring to connect with recent graduates at the event who are already making a positive impact in the world. They are not only excelling in their professional fields but also contributing to initiatives such as promoting STEM education for girls, working with non-profits, and actively engaging with their communities. Witnessing these achievements fills me with immense pride.

A talk by Professor Marcus Foth
This talk invites a rethinking of urban futures through the lens of relational urbanism and more-than-human design. What if cities were co-designed not just for people but with the wider web of life? What role can design play in restoring biodiversity, rewilding cities, enabling multispecies justice, and embracing ecological entanglements?
