At the latest SMU Leadership PowerUP session, Mr Edmund Lin (SMU Board of Trustees; Chairman of Southeast Asia, Bain & Company) unpacked what leadership and strategy look like in a more fragmented and uncertain world, in conversation with Ms Shyn Yee Ho-Strangas 何勋谊 (BBM 2004).

Some key takeaways from the evening:

🔹 The world is no longer “flat”. Leaders today must navigate across fault lines.
🔹 In uncertainty, strong leaders make fewer, bigger bets with conviction.
🔹 AI is not just a technology challenge. Mindset and culture matter just as much.
🔹 Even amid change, trust and leadership responsibility remain constant.

Hosted by Terence Quek (MCM 2013), Chairperson of the SMU Leading Executives And Directors Alumni Group (SMU LEAD AG).

If you lead at the board, C-suite, or director level, or aspire to, this is a community worth being part of.

The “harvest now, decrypt later” threat is no longer science fiction. As quantum computing advances, organisations must start preparing today for risks that may only fully materialise years from now.

Join us for a timely panel discussion featuring Professor Robert Deng, Edwin Lim, and Wong Wai Tuck (BSc IS 2019), moderated by Dr Tan Mei Hui (LLM 2024), as they explore quantum-resistant cryptography, migration strategies, governance, risk management, and what meaningful action looks like now.

Because the window to act is not when quantum computing arrives. It is today.

Across five cities and two dates, the SMU alumni community in India came together for a series of city-based gatherings on 26 April and 2 May.

On 26 April, simultaneous gatherings were held in Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, bringing alumni together to reconnect over shared SMU experiences and exchange updates on their personal and professional journeys. This was followed by a Kolkata gathering on 2 May.

Together, these reunions reflect the growing strength and vibrancy of the SMU alumni network in India, and our alumni's collective enthusiasm to stay connected.

For SMU alumni, qualities like drive and adaptability are second nature. Yet in today’s fast-changing world, staying relevant requires more than technical expertise. It calls for clear communication under pressure, effective persuasion, and authentic leadership that inspires trust.

Join Crystal Lim-Lange, author of the national bestseller Deep Human, for a practical session that reframes public speaking as a core leadership skill.

In this session, you’ll explore how to:
• Communicate confidently under pressure
• Read the room and adapt in the moment
• Build trust and influence through the way you speak
• Develop an authentic leadership presence

SMU Alumni gathered in Jakarta on 28 April 2026 for a meaningful milestone, the very first official event at our new SMU Indonesia office.

The evening was graced by SMU President Professor Lily Kong, alongside Professor Archan Misra, who shared insights on AI, robotics, and the future of work, unpacking how these shifts are reshaping organisations and what lifelong learning looks like in practice.

We were heartened by the strong turnout, with more than 60 pax/guests filling the space to standing room only, and conversations carrying well into the evening.

We also officially welcomed the Indonesia Alumni EXCO for 2026 to 2027, led by Chairperson Gulshan Harjani (BBM 2005), alongside Vice Chairperson Stephanie Tantri (BBM 2006), with Ernest Ferdian (BBM 2010), Nida An Khafiyya (BSocSc 2010), and Vania Wijaya Gunawan (MI 2022).

A great start to what we hope will be many more touchpoints with our alumni community in Indonesia.

From Seattle to San Francisco, Toronto to Chicago, our North American tour took us across cities, time zones, and borders, and it was well worth it.

Led by Florence Neo (Assoc Alum), we connected with alumni doing incredible things across the region, from tech in the Pacific Northwest and Bay Area to diverse paths across North America. Wherever we went, the SMU spirit shone through.

We also met 5 pairs of #SMOOchies along the way and heard from Lin Fengru (BSc ISM 2011), Founder & CEO of TurtleTree and a 2025 SMU Alumni Awards recipient, who generously shared her journey. A special mention too to Stephanie Quek (BSocSc 2014), who travelled all the way from Vancouver to Seattle, and to Christa Harrison (MBA 2012), who took a nearly 5-hour train from Ann Arbor to Chicago. We are truly grateful you made the journey.

To everyone who joined us, thank you for making the time. It was really good reconnecting. And if we missed you, we hope to see you in your city next.

Back in February, the Peer Helpers Alumni Group rang in the Year of the Horse in true Peer Helpers fashion - gathering 22 alumni at the University Lounge on 27 February for a 𝑷𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 and 𝑷𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒆-themed night of good food, panel sharing, lohei, and a whole lot of catching up. A fitting way to honour the heart, effort, and spirit that Peer Helpers bring to the SMU community.

The programme was intentionally light: dinner to ease everyone in, lohei to kick things up a notch, and a panel sharing session that got people reflecting and sharing in equal measure. Alumni reconnected across batches, swapped stories, and made some new ones too.

To everyone who came - thank you for showing up and making the night what it was. Here's to carrying that 𝑷𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 and 𝑷𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒆 through the rest of 2026. 🐴

“Some evenings stay with you long after they end.” – Wee Teck Lee (MITB 2015), MITB Alumni Group Chairperson.

Last Wednesday (25 March 2026), the MITB Alumni Community Night brought alumni across cohorts together at Hopscotch for an evening of catching up, meeting new faces, and falling easily into conversation. A round of Human Bingo got things going, bringing together people who might not have crossed paths otherwise.

33 alumni showed up, and the energy spoke for itself.

Kudos to the MITB Alumni Group Exco, especially Leong Pei Lin (MITB 2024), for making the night happen. The programme may be over, but the community continues.

27 𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙣, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙡𝙙.

On 4 March 2026, we kicked off the 27th edition of the SMU Mentoring Navigator - bringing together alumni mentors and student mentees across 10 industry groups spanning banking, technology, consulting, public service, logistics, entrepreneurship, and the wider corporate landscape.

The industry-based format gives conversations focus and direction - mentees connect with alumni who know their sector and come away with grounded, relevant insights. And there's always room to look beyond, with cross-industry exploration that opens students up to paths they might not have considered.

That blend of structured matching and genuine, in-person conversation is what makes this programme a defining part of the SMU alumni experience.

To every mentor who gave your time and your story this edition - thank you. Your commitment is what keeps this going, edition after edition.
