NUS Alumni Awards 2007

NUS launched the Alumni Recognition Programme with the inaugural NUS Alumni Awards during its NUS Centennial Year in 2005.

These awards that recognise and honour alumni put a human face to the University’s considerable accomplishments and contributions in education.

This year's NUS Alumni Awards 2007 is held at The Regent Singapore on 5 July. Three categories of awards were presented to 21 recipients:

Eminent Alumni Award

The Eminent Alumni Award recognises alumni who have distinguished themselves nationally or internationally for their
excellent and sustained contributions and achievements in public and community service; in arts, sports, culture or entrepreneurship; or in a profession or scholarly field.

Distinguished Alumni Service Awards

The Distinguished Alumni Service Award recognises alumni who have distinguished themselves in rendering excellent and sustained service to NUS, its predecessor institutions or alumni community.

Outstanding Young Alumni Awards

The Outstanding Young Alumni Award recognises the achievements and contributions of young alumni, aged 40 and below, who have distinguished themselves nationally or internationally for their excellent and sustained contributions and achievements in their chosen fields, exemplified the best attributes of youth in today’s world, and rendered excellent and sustained service to NUS or its alumni community.

The Alumni Awards Statuette

The design consists of a human figure and a globe.

The figure depicts the aspirations of NUS in striving towards global excellence. The curvatures of the figure are shaped according to the letters “NUS”. The legs represent “N”, the head is “U” while the twisting body forms the “S”. This single figure is chosen to reflect people-orientation within the NUS community and to depict NUS as One Body.

The globe signifies NUS as a global knowledge enterprise that transcends boundaries of space and time. The steps from which the globe and the figure emerge, represent the various stages of progress that the recipients have achieved and their ascent to sucess in their chosen fields.
