About the Donor
The endowed Gemini Overseas Exchange Grant is established by SMU alumnus Muhammad Mohsin (BSc(ISM), 2009) to enable financially challenged students from the School of Computing & Information Systems at SMU to embark on an exchange programme in the hopes of expanding their world view.
Understanding how invaluable global exposure is to personal growth is something Muhammad himself is deeply aware of -- he had lived in Silicon Valley for 6 years whilst working at Google. This experience moulded Muhammad into the man he is today. He has since come full circle and is currently an Engineering Manager at Google in Singapore.
Having benefited from a quality education, Muhammad is keen to give back to alma mater and considers himself blessed to be in a position to pay it forward for future generations of SMU students to come.
