SMU-X at 10: A decade of learning that turns ideas into action
- (From L to R) Mr Kevin Koh, Head of SMU-X ; Professor Alan Chan, SMU Provost ; Professor Venky Shankararaman, Vice Provost (Education) and Associate Professor Yuanto Kusnadi, SMU-X Academic Director, holding the commemorative book launched to mark the 10th anniversary of SMU‑X. The book titled ‘From classroom to real world: A decade of industry project-based experiential learning’, traces the initiative’s journey from a bold pedagogical experiment to a defining pillar of the University’s education ecosystem. Launched at the National Library Building on December 2025, the event brought together students, staff, faculty, industry partners and alumni who have shaped – and been shaped by – SMU-X over the past decade. Through reflections spanning across disciplines, industries, and geographies, the book offers insights into how real‑world, project‑based learning has transformed classroom education at SMU.
A Letter to Love : a zine on display in the 25x25 exhibition at SMU de Suantio Gallery during the 2025 Arts Fest
- This is a pdf capture of the zine created by Tanmayee Mhapankar for the 2025 Arts Fest 25x25 exhibition which contains a poetry inspired by Chua Ek Kay’s artwork "In Abeyance (Circular Road)" (2002). "The artwork that inspired this poem, In Abeyance (Circular Road) (2002) by Chua Ek Kay, depicts the loss of identity that can follow urbanisation, through the lens of architecture. I tried to apply that process to the human psyche as one grows over the years. My poem talks about how maybe our identity is never truly ours, as so much of it is embedded within bits of the past and it tends to blur over the years, much like the painting. We do our best to hold on to the nostalgia connecting us to who we used to be, but these memories often clash with who we are, leaving us a culmination of shells of our past selves. Though the poem depicts my personal experience with this struggle, readers are encouraged to think about habits or memories that cemented who they were, and how those experiences vary and shaped who they are today." - Tanmayee Mhapankar, Year 4, School of Social Sciences
SMU Alumni helm finale of SMU Jubilee showcase in Campus Green
- Alumni Koh Wei Ren from Class of 2018, School of Economics, and Jasmine Lim Li Hua, from Class of 2019, Lee Kong Chiang School of Business, hosting the final night of Live, Laugh, Lor, held in the campus green of their alma mater. The event brought together eight local institutions of higher education to deliver a dynamic showcase of music and dance. From 22 August to 28 September 2025, SMU transformed its campus and the surrounding Bras Basah Arts Precinct into a vibrant, open‑air stage celebrating student creativity and national heritage. Under the banner “2560” – marking both SMU’s 25th and Singapore’s 60th anniversary respectively – the six-week arts festival was its most ambitious yet, uniting students, alumni and collaborators in five flagship productions and a slate of campus-wide activities. While previous editions of the SMU Arts Festival offered many platforms for student collaboration, this year’s festival stood as a statement of how SMU and its community engage with culture, identity and ambition. Across six weeks, more than 460 performers – students, alumni and peers from other institutions – came together to celebrate not just milestones, but the expression and imagination of youth. It also reflected SMU's journey and growth over the past 25 years.
An elegent blend of tradition and hip hop anchors RE:TURN's Malay dance segment
- Return of RE:TURN is a high energy dance production that explores the disappearing grammar of traditional Malay, Indian and Chinese dance finding its way to influence, evolve and turn dance genres like hip-hop into fresh and exciting possibilities. Featuring the largest dance club, this production celebrates SMU Eurhythmix (EMIX) marking its 25th anniversary alongside SMU25 and SG60. In the Malay segment, choreographer Mr Hafeez Hassan (fourth from right) stepped onstage alongside the students, lending an authentic presence to the sequence’s unhurried tempo. The fusion of hip hop with traditional Malay movement evoked a pastoral simplicity, while the dancers—dressed in green and accompanied by a live musician—move with poised grace, conjuring scenes of tranquil kampong life.
The finale of RE:TURN celebrates cultural expression and collaboration, closing with a powerful ensemble performance under dynamic lighting
- On 20 September 2025, SMU Eurhythmix (EMIX) — the university’s oldest and largest dance club, also celebrating its own 25th anniversary — staged Return of RE:TURN at Drama Centre Theatre. The full-length dance production fused hip hop with classical Malay, Indian, and Chinese dance vocabularies. Under the mentorship of established choreographers, students explored how heritage forms could be reimagined through contemporary movement, creating a dialogue between the past and present. Return of RE:TURN showcased not just the technical skill of SMU’s dancers, but also their ability to use performance as a medium for cultural storytelling. The finale showed all groups of dancers converging in style, gearing towards unity through diversity, celebrating SMU's Jubilee and the nation's SG60 anniversaries.
