Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri 🌙✨from the NUS Graduate Students’ Society

Wishing everyone a joyful celebration filled with love, laughter, and meaningful moments with family and friends. May this festive season bring peace, happiness, and new beginnings to all. 💚

Maaf zahir dan batin.

🌟 We were delighted to host the SGGSS First Community Connect last week at NUS.

Students from five universities - NUS, NTU, SMU, SUTD, and SIT - came together for an afternoon of insightful sharing, networking, and a lively campus tour around University Town.

It was inspiring to see such an engaged community of graduate students exchanging experiences, ideas, and perspectives across institutions. Moments like these remind us how valuable cross-university collaboration can be.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this first Community Connect such a memorable one. We look forward to many more opportunities to connect, learn, and grow together.
