The event presented an excellent opportunity for students to explore various educational and career opportunities, as well as potential scholarships to support their future aspirations.

Engaging panel discussions tackled perennial questions that students have about their future. One session was held at the College Auditorium and explored the grey area of how students are to decide what is next for them. The esteemed speakers include CPT Russell Ewe, Staff Officer at the Republic of Singapore Navy, Professor Terrence Sim, Vice Dean of Admissions at the National University of Singapore, and Rui Xin Oh, Senior Project Manager at brand experience agency, INVNT.ATOM.

The panel discussion was conducted by Doreen Tan, Independent Consult and former Audit Partner at KPMG Singapore, Professor Elvin Lim, Dean of the College of Integrative Studies at Singapore Management University and Nigel Lim, Manager at MOH Holdings.
