CKC–USP Summer Seminar 2020: Strategic Leadership, Innovation and Society
In its second iteration, the seminar which took place from 12 to 19 July 2020, engaged a total of 24 students from CKC and USP. While the COVID-19 pandemic may have disrupted physical traveling, it is with thanks to great interest and resilience from participants that this year’s seminar can continue even amidst these trying times. While we would have loved to engage students in a face-to-face experiential learning, their safety remains our utmost priority. Without compromising their learning experience, USP and CKC put together an exciting line-up of programmes which allowed students from various discipline and backgrounds, to engage in meaningful academic and cultural exchange.
The Directors of CKC and USP (Prof Lu Xin, A/P Kang Hway Chuan and A/P Low Boon Chuan) welcomed the student participants from both institutions at the opening ceremony.
Student participants played a game of Code Name during the social time. The student leaders (CKC: Chen Deyi and Wu Yan; USP: Koh Kai Qian and Ng Xiang Yun) had put together a series of ice-breaking games for the participants.
