The SMAAC has a pool of dedicated students who work closely
with the management committee to form an importat communication channel for the student population. They are crucial
in assisting the foreign students to settle down in Singapore before
the academic year begins as well as providing them with a link to
the alumni.
The activities that were organised in the past year included the
Amazing Race at Sentosa Island and the SMA Innovation Seminar.
Upcoming activities include the Annual General Meeting and Annual
Bowling Competition.

variety of social and sporting activities. Such events include soccer competitions and celebrations of certain special holidays. This is done with the intention of providing more opportunities for interaction and to allow students and SMA Fellows to forge closer relationships with each other.
Despite the numerous assignments and lectures, students still find the time and effort to join in the activities. This reinforces their beliefs that personal and academic growth are twin qualities crucial to developing well-rounded and dynamic individuals.

The SMA Alumni Club (SMAAC) was officially registered on 16
October 2000. It was initiated by the first batch of graduates with
the aim of forming and sustaining a strong and active network
amongst the SMA students, graduates and professors. The
management committee comprises elected Alumni members who
represent the different programmes. After four graduating batches,
the SMAAC has more than 20 Ordinary Members and over 40
current students as Associate Members. This year, SMAAC
received an encouraging response for its newly-introduced life
membership scheme.
As the SMAAC is made up of members from numerous cultures
and nationalities, great care is taken to welcome them and provide
opportunities for these members to interact with each other. Social
and professional activities are thus organised by SMAAC to provide
the SMA students, graduates and professors with a platform to
interact leisurely and professionally on all levels, such as on work-related
issues, career development or enhancing professional
engineering skills.

“SMAAC has helped
to widen my network by linking me to a pool of
alumni who can offer advice on issues such as coursework
and job-hunting. As alumni, we share our experiences
at SMA and are united by the common goal of helping
students and alumni of SMA stay close together
through the activities that are organised.”

“SMAAC offers the opportunity
for us to come back together again and exchange
our thoughts and ideas about our experiences in
the working world. In the fast-paced evolving global
economy, it pays to take note of the changes occurring
around us and the Club has the potential to generate
such a forum.”

“Through SMAAC, I hope to be
a link to connect South Korea and Singapore by
encouraging interaction between MIT, Korea Advanced
Institiute of Science and Technology and SMA graduates.”

“Being a member of SMAAC allows

the enjoyable events and outings organised by the

“One of the SMAAC’s objectives
is to enable the alumni to keep in touch with one
another. From being active in the Club, I have
not only managed to keep in contact with those
in my year of study but have also gotten to know
my juniors.”
