NUS President Professor Shih Choon Fong recently visited Shanghai in
August to sign two Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) between NUS and
Fudan University. This marks the opening of the third NUS overseas college.
Come January 2004, NCS’ (NUS College in Shanghai) pioneer cohort
of about 10 students will head for Shanghai to spend a year studying
part-time at Fudan while engaging in full-time internships.
While
in Shanghai, Prof Shih and the NUS delegation hosted a dinner for more
than 30 NUS alumni residing in the city. There were both Chinese nationals
and Singaporeans attending the function. Prof Shih was delighted that
so many had taken time out from their personal schedules to attend the
dinner. Aside from great conversation and excellent company, a full
course of exquisite Shanghainese cuisine was served. Everyone enjoyed
themselves, and the night saw many new friendships being made. Overall
the NUS visit was a tremendous success for the forging of new relationships
and the renewing of familiar ones.
NUS alumni in Shanghai take time out for an evening of fellowship.
