Launched in AY2012/2013, the mentorship program initially featured mentors with over a decade of industry experience. Acknowledging the valuable insights of recent graduates, the program has been expanded to incorporate a new category of mentors – associate mentors with a minimum of five years of experience.
In his opening address, NUSS President Mr Edward S Tay emphasised the importance of connecting students with the invaluable experiences of the alumni body. ” The distinction between a good university and an exceptional university lies in its capacity to extend learning beyond the confines of classrooms and laboratories. To this end, NUS has many mentorship programs across the campus that connect its students with the invaluable experience of its alumni and other supporters outside of the campus. NUSS is privileged to be among the first to support NUS in such programmes,” he said.
