It’s no secret that I just absolutely love NUS MBA. It’s been one of the best phases of my life and it is one that I will cherish forever. Like every organization, there are areas we still need to work on but I know we are on our way up there! Yes, I am an eternal optimist. This school and its people throw in one surprise after another and I absolutely love it.
If you are wondering what triggered this emotion, well it’s the launch of Net Impact chapter of NUS MBA. This is a great initiative that the program has undertaken and very fittingly, it has been taken under the wings of the Social Impact Club of NUS MBA. But what makes it even more special is the fact that this is something that has been entirely conceptualised, initiated, driven and guided by the students here. It really goes on to speak highly of the capabilities of the students joining us. It’s a great platform for the students to work with globally recognized organizations on live projects, something that will not only widen their perspective and give practical knowledge about business but also help them take up social causes and burning global issues. Additionally, it will give them an opportunity to meet students and companies from around the world who are part of this chapter, thereby increasing our reach and brand across the globe. I could go on and on about this, but maybe the team spearheading this activity is the best to do so. Kudos to Suraj, Adarsh and team!
We had students representing our school for a project organized by MILK to Thailand and Philippines. Suda and Colleen made a meaningful contribution there, and I am so proud of that. And mind you, the contribution of the students doesn’t end with the trip. Having realized the need for English books in schools in Thailand, Suda sourced books from various libraries and schools in Singapore and is sending the same to Thailand. She made a promise to them and she is sure going to keep it.
We regularly organize study trips around the world where we get an opportunity to meet the top management of leading global organizations along with legendary personalities. We are the first school in Asia who had the opportunity to meet the legendary Mr.Warren Buffett. Now where else could I have got the chance to listen to the legend in a room of only a 100 people!!??!! Again, these trips are completely driven by the students with of course, a lot of support from the MBA Office.
We have students representing us in global business competitions and have won us countless accolades. And then of course, there is Cerebration of which I am so proud. We partner with Singaporean companies to write business cases on them, and then invite participation from all over the world for it. It’s one of the biggest business case competitions in the world and we plan to keep it that way! :) It’s literally a SGD 200,000 project, not only entailing enormous planning and organization, but also has the task of being the much publicised flagship event of the school. We finalized our case sponsors yesterday and I don’t mean to boast, but it’s the best selection of companies we have had this far. And in the times of global economic turmoil, it is nothing less than a feat. Of course, there is more pressure now for us to keep the flag flying high and handsome, but going by what all we have achieved this far, I don’t see why not!
NUS MBA program churns out leaders. It churns out self motivated people who drive their endeavours to successful completion. It speaks highly of them and it’s only a matter of time that more companies will sit up and take notice. Of course, one cannot discount the endeavours of previous years. It has been the cumulative effort of the past years that has brought us to this position and inspires us to continue doing so. We are the makers of our own destiny here at NUS MBA and no one can take that away from us. Keep is rolling guys, the world is your stage. So play on!
