Come and join Permaculture@USP’s inaugural symposium, “SustaiNIBBLES”. The objective of the event is to educate participants about sustainable food production in Singapore, encourage awareness and a sustainable mindset and teach participants how to start a small garden in their homes. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from local niche food producers and experts (among which is Prof Maharaj Pandit, our Ngee Ann Kongsi Distinguished Visiting Professor) who are challenging the notions of sustainable food production and inspiring the next green wave of Singapore food entrepreneurs. There will also be a microgreens workshop for all participants to learn how to produce nutritious food. This event is open to NUS students, staff and public. Interested students and staff, sign up HERE. Permaculture@USP was started by USP alum Alexius Yeo (Geography + USP, Class of 2010) in 2017.

Organised by the University Scholars Club (USC), the Inter-House Games 2019 will run two activities concurrently – the Vertical Relay and CTPH Games (Chess, Super Smash Bros and Overcooked).

ISMs are independent research opportunities to explore a specialised area of interest and an academic requirement for all USP students. Some USP students who have done their ISMs will be sharing their personal experiences and providing practical advice for those who are embarking on an ISM in the form of “Human Library” activity – where a “book” (speaker) and several “readers” (participants) are grouped together, and the former shares information with the latter on a particular topic. Do come and hear what these seniors have to say about the ISM experience!

This is a special session organised by the RAs for all USP students to come together to have fun and bond.

Organised by Love, USP, this event is a collaboration with SoSD, a non-profit organisation striving to change the plight of street dogs in Singapore.

In view of our transition into a technological era governed by Big Data, Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IOT), our economy and society is experiencing disruptions on many fronts and is in a constant state of flux. The Sessions student team has invited three panellists – Mr Amit Gupta (Chief of Electrical Rolls Royce), Mr Harveen (CEO, Kommerce) and Ms Jasmine Seng (Mangement Consultant, Accenture). The panel discussion will look into the issues of how the workplace is being disrupted, where are the bright spots that you can leverage on and how you can better prepare for the advent of a technological era.

Through this process, USP students and PAYM hope youths will gain insight on and deepen their interests in current affairs, and specifically, understand the trade-off in policy-making.
