SUMMARY:Asian Undergraduate Summit 2018
DESCRIPTION:Students from the National University of Singapore (NUS) University Scholars Programme (USP) are organising the Singapore leg of the fourth Asian Undergraduate Summit (AUS) from 15 to 23 July 2018\, with the overarching summit theme of “Leadership in a Complex World: Taking on Diffused Responsibilities”. \nAsia’s societal challenges are so large-scale\, complex and widespread that the responsibility for tackling them is diffused across all members of society. Too often\, individuals experience an inertia to act. AUS 2018 thus aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to respond to diffused responsibilities with purposeful action. The Singapore leg will focus on the sub-theme of creating inclusive spaces to explore how individuals can take on diffused responsibilities by creating inclusive spaces through human-centred design. \nMore information at AUS 2018 website.

SUMMARY:Visit to USP: Student Delegation from Chu Kochen Honors College\, Zhejiang University
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by USP\, a group of student delegation from Chu Kochen Honors College\, Zhejiang University will be visiting USP and NUS from 2-4 October 2018. They will be introduced to USP and NUS by attending three sample classes by USP faculty members\, touring around USP and UTown\, and visiting the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum at NUS. \nSample Class 1\nEvolution: Human origins by Dr Hwang Wei Song \nSummary: The evolutionary history of our own human species is currently undergoing major revisions as new discoveries in unexpected localities are made in recent years. This sample class will make use of a comparative morphology approach to gather information using hominid skulls to understand how we can piece together the lives of past and present species. We will examine the connections between morphological form and function and attempt to make phylogenetic inferences given the information gathered. \nSample Class 2\nEngaging and Building Communities by A/P Albert Teo \nSummary: How do we engage and support disadvantaged\, marginalised communities? What are the key outcomes\, strategies and principles of impactful community development? In this session\, we will critically review the principles of community development in the context of addressing the challenges and issues faced by disadvantaged\, marginalised communities. \nSample Class 3\n“Health in Happiness” by Dr Charles Burke \nA valid measure of happiness consists of three principle components\, the logical\, emotional\, and social. Sports too exhibit a combination each of these components and therefore the two are likely to share a positive correlation. The session will conduct data collection exercise where as a group we attempt to validly measure our own health and happiness through a morning of participating in sport.

SUMMARY:Bite-sized Modules
DESCRIPTION:This student-initiated event is for students to share a module that they are passionate about\, and in return\, learn about something they are interested in (from a module they may not have been able to take) from another student. Such an exchange would hopefully encourage inter-disciplinary learning. Each sharing session will be around 40 mins (your sharing + you learning by attending one session from another student).
