For NUS Computing student Zachary Kang, an exchange at the Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU became much more than a semester abroad. It was an opportunity to step beyond the familiar, immerse himself in a different culture, and discover new ways of learning, living and connecting with others.

From exploring cybersecurity research and experiencing a different academic environment, to representing DTU in Ultimate Frisbee and forging friendships across cultures, Zachary embraced every opportunity to learn — both inside and beyond the classroom.

Along the way, he rediscovered the joy of learning, gained fresh perspectives, and developed a deeper appreciation of the world around him.

Because sometimes, the greatest growth begins when we venture beyond what we know. One journey can change how we see the world — and ourselves. ✨

More than 300 NUS Computing students across 20 cohorts of Computing for Voluntary Welfare Organisations (CVWO) – a student volunteer initiative - have applied their computing skills for social good, building software for social service and non-profit organisations. As they serve the community, these students also gained valuable hands-on experience beyond the classroom.

CVWO marked this significant milestone, achieved over nearly two decades of dedicated efforts, at a celebration graced by Mrs Josephine Teo , Minister for Digital Development and Information. As the initiative enters its next chapter, CVWO is exploring how AI and more configurable technology platforms can support a wider range of partner organisations.

For NUS Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies alumna Janani, care doesn’t stop at the hospital. It starts with showing up — for patients, for seniors, and for communities. ❤️

A family health crisis, when her mother suffered a stroke, sparked her desire to care for others. Volunteering when she was an NUS student then opened her eyes to the needs beyond the hospital.

Since 2024, Janani has volunteered with Trigenerational HomeCare, an NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine alumni-founded initiative, where she has seen how meaningful connections between youth and seniors can combat isolation and preserve dignity.

Her Youth Corps Singapore journey — including a Community Internship with TriGen — helped her gain confidence to turn compassion into action.

One moment stayed with her: at the Youth Corps Hearts Connect Finale, youth leaders and seniors created handmade decorations together. “Watching youth guide seniors with the same patience that parents show young children was incredibly fulfilling. It was a beautiful, full-circle moment of care.”

Janani is today a nurse at Singapore General Hospital and continues volunteering with TriGen@SGH, working to improve health literacy and support seniors in the community.

Join Janani in making a difference by checking out Youth Corp on Telegram for volunteering opportunities.

Repost from instagram.com/nuspresident - "My thanks to Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon for an inspiring NUS Law Bicentennial Lecture as we mark 200 years of Singapore’s legal and judicial system. Grateful also to NUS Law’s Centre for Asian Legal Studies for convening this important conversation.

Congratulations also to Professor Kevin Tan on the launch of The Second Charter of Justice: A Documentary History.

An esteemed NUS Law alumnus and NUS Honorary Graduate, CJ Menon’s reflections on the enduring strength of the rule of law—and how it must evolve to meet a changing world—were especially timely.

As we face new challenges, from access to justice and cross-border issues to generative AI, our institutions must adapt while staying true to the principles that have guided us."

Singapore sits along one of the world’s busiest and most important waterways, sharing the Straits of Malacca and Singapore with neighbours Indonesia and Malaysia.

Today, about a quarter of the world’s traded goods moves through the Straits, and its safety and openness didn’t happen by chance. They have been maintained over decades through the rule of law, trust, diplomacy and cooperation.

Now, experts from the NUS Centre for International Law (CIL) and leading maritime scholars have brought that story together in a new book, The Straits of Malacca and Singapore: A Model for the World, the first to bring together their historical, legal, maritime and strategic dimensions in one comprehensive account.

At a time of rising geopolitical tensions, the Straits offer a timely lesson for the world: when countries share a vital space, cooperation can be not just possible, but essential.

💡🎓 Repost from instagram.com/nuspresident - "What does it take to thrive in a workplace transformed by AI — and how are universities preparing our graduates for it?

Delighted to moderate the 12th Dialogues on Asian Universities with three distinguished leaders: Feon Ang, Asia Pacific Managing Director from LinkedIn, Kohei Itoh, President of Keio University Global Page, and Xiang Zhang, President of The University of Hong Kong.

Our conversation was timely and thought-provoking. Universities must prepare graduates not only to work alongside AI, but to lead with what makes us human.

Five qualities will matter more than ever: curiosity, courage, creativity, compassion and communication.

AI may transform how we work. But those who use AI wisely — while harnessing the strengths that make us human — will be the ones who shape the future.

Soft robots have wide-ranging applications such as in surgery, eldercare, rehabilitation, underwater exploration and environmental monitoring, thanks to their gentle, flexible bodies. But that same softness makes them hard to control. Professor Cecilia Laschi and her team at NUS Mechanical Engineering in NUS College of Design and Engineering are developing new ways to make soft robots smarter and more reliable.

Taking inspiration from the fluid, intelligent movement of the octopus, the team is translating nature's ingenuity into more adaptable robots. With AI, these robots can learn how their soft bodies behave, enabling more precise movements and safer interactions.

Prof Laschi envisions a future where soft robots are so seamlessly woven into our everyday lives that you hardly notice them, quietly making the world around us safer and smoother.

Repost from instagram.com/humans_ofnus - "What happens inside Singapore’s courts? ⚖️

For 88 NUS colleagues, they got to find out up close, thanks to our Learning and Development team from the Office of Human Resources, who organised two experiential learning journeys to the Singapore Courts as part of a meaningful National Education experience.

From observing Traffic Court in action, to stepping inside the iconic octagonal Family Justice Courts, and exploring 200 years of Singapore’s judicial history at the State Courts Heritage Gallery, colleagues gained a fascinating glimpse into an institution that touches all our lives.

One group was especially fortunate to hear insights from NUS Professor Stella Tan, a former Deputy Director and Deputy Senior State Counsel at the Attorney-General’s Chambers. 🌟

Beyond the buildings, processes and history, the experience offered a deeper appreciation of what makes our justice system work: integrity, respect and a commitment to serving people from all walks of life.

These values resonate strongly with our own NUS Values — a powerful reminder that the principles we uphold at NUS are part of the larger Singapore story, and inspire us to contribute even more meaningfully to the society we serve. 💙🧡"
