Foreword

It‟s truly an honor to have you take your precious time off to read a seemingly fancy document like this. But we‟d like to take you on a trip to imagine… … about the 65,000 fresh graduates entering the work force each year; 24, 000 from NUS;

23, 000 from NTU; 7, 000 from SMU

and 11, 000 from SIM… … how would YOU stand to be seen?

Our ever-changing world and a highly connected economy calls for attributes beyond academic excellence. How global-conscious, versatile and outstanding are you as a member of this world? Youth is an energy that will someday be lost if left unharnessed and university is perhaps the final opportunity to use that energy and discover your true potential. Dear friend, standing among the 65, 000 graduates out there…

How different will YOUR university life-story be?
