NUSSU PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE On behalf of the National University of Singapore Students’ Union (NUSSU), congratulations and welcome to NUS! Enrolling in this University is no mean feat; but I assure you that by coming here, you have made one of the best decisions in your life. Over the next three to four years, you will be exposed to endless opportunities to experience, learn and grow, so make the most out of what NUS has to offer. Having been a freshmen stepping into this campus for the first time like you, we understand how easy it can be to be overwhelmed by all the information that is being conveyed to you. Hence, this magazine, or module fondly titled “NUS1101”, serves to provide you with handy tips and guides that will tide you through this transition phase. To really enjoy this University experience, you have to be curious and receptive to the opportunities around you. NUS offers a wide range of undergraduate courses that caters to students with varying interests. Courses like Information Security and Business Analytics are just a few of the newer courses that the University introduced to help nurture and cultivate a global mindset. Alternatively, those of you who are even more adventurous may wish to participate in programmes like the NUS Overseas College and overseas exchange programmes. In addition, NUSSU, which comprises the Executive Committee, 9 committees and her 14 Constituent Clubs, organises various initiatives which would enrich your student life. The NUSSU Rag and Flag and Freshman Orientation Camps are just two of several projects specially designed to help you assimilate into the NUS family and explore the huge array of clubs and societies within NUS. Academic success is important, but University is so much more than just that; you will soon realise that student life plays an enormous role in your University years. Go, and try things you never knew you dared to, participate in sports you never knew you could be good at, and plan for an event so large you never imagined you could pull off. Be curious and unafraid; it will open you to a new world of possibilities and let you achieve your fullest potential! Lastly, every undergraduate is a member of the NUSSU. We are here to promote and safeguard your interests. If you have any concerns or feedback, do let us know at feedback@nussu.org.sg. We hear you, and are also always open to suggestions that can improve your University life. Alternatively, you may drop us a message on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook. com/nus.students.union/. Again, I welcome you to the campus and look forward to meeting you. This journey will undoubtedly be challenging, but it will also definitely be a vibrant and rewarding one. I wish you all the best! Warmest Regards,
TAN Wee Bian (Mr.) NUS Faculty of Engineering, Year 4 President | 38th Executive Committee National University of Singapore Students’ Union (NUSSU) Council
