This season of celebration saw 245 NUS-ISS Master of Technology (MTech) graduates mark their milestone achievements as a resilient cohort, at the ceremony of Commencement 2022.
Held on 16 July, graduates and their loved ones filled the University Cultural Centre with an air of anticipation and excitement. From the Ceremonial Procession, playing of the National Anthem to the presentation of graduates, a sense of fulfilment took centerstage as everyone soaked in the atmosphere, highlighted by the resounding applause from family and friends.
Resilience and Agility - Cornerstones of the Learning Journey
Valedictorian, Ms Julie Seah (above, pictured), who graduated with a Master of Technology in Digital Leadership said, "Our education has equipped us with the skills and knowledge to be tech-savvy 'T-shape' digital leaders, but - it is the creativity, resourcefulness, and agility that we have displayed by embracing change that has put us in good stead for the future." She acknowledged the unprecedented time where "...resilience and agility has helped us to survive and thrive through the pandemic, exactly what is needed as we step into new careers, mature as leaders and pursue our goals."
Julie who is also a Manager for Safety, Security & Quality Development at Singapore Airlines, further added of her experience, "In the last two years, I have had to reflect, reframe mindsets and remaster behaviours as I learnt to build and lead teams, keep people connected and engaged, and drive change and innovation. This meant continuous learning, unlearning, and re-learning as I let go of the familiar and took new steps to do things in new ways."
The ceremony went on with much gratitude extended to the unwavering support from parents, loved ones, academic and administrative staff.
