Faculty, alumni, current students and graduands gathered on 11 July for an evening of reunion and celebration at SSHSPH AlumNite 2019 held at Park Avenue Rochester Hotel.
Vice Dean (Education), Associate Professor Jeannette Lee addressed the graduands, congratulating them on their achievements and for completing their studies. She also shared her hopes that they would stay in touch and return for future AlumNites, this time as alumni.
This year, alumna Ms Petrina Ho (MPH ’12) was invited to share about her SSHSPH education and public health experience. Ms Ho is currently Assistant Head of Corporate Communications at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR). She shared the importance of MPH – not to stand for Master of Public Health, but to remind graduands and students to find Meaning in what they do, Persevere and chase it to the end, and embrace difficulties with a sense of Humour.
The School also recognised the outstanding academic accomplishments of our students, as well as dedication of our student representatives. A/Prof Lee and Vice Dean (Research), Associate Professor Alex Cook awarded the prize recipients of the Dean’s List, Tye Cho Yook Gold Medal, Dean’s Medal and Prize, Graduate Student Research Award and Lee Hin Peng Medal.
After the programme, guests helped themselves to a sumptuous buffet, took silly photos at the photo booth and got their caricatures made into keychains.
It was an evening filled with hearty conversations, rekindled and newly forged friendships, and happiness and laughter all around.
