What is your favourite food to get on campus?

The fluffy Pratas served nice and crispy from Prata Alley is a must!

What is the one thing you wish more people knew about SMU?

There should be more awareness about SMU's open culture, a university that welcomes all. It has a diverse and inclusive team ensuring that everyone feels welcome and there is a heartwarming atmosphere on campus!

Please share a community service project/trip that you have taken part in SMU.

I took part in a local community service programme called Project AC - Elderly by the SMU Red Cross Youth Chapter. Project AC aims to empower first aid skills and knowledge within the ageing community. We have worked with the elderly from senior activity centres and nursing homes. I had the opportunity to teach the elderly from senior activity centres and nursing homes about basic first aid skills and interacted with them through games and art & crafts.
