Flag-raising ceremony at SMU’s National Day Observance Ceremony 2016

This photograph captures the flag-raising ceremony during Singapore Management University’s National Day Observance Ceremony on 10 August 2016. Due to redevelopment works at Campus Green, the ceremony was held along the covered walkway beneath the Li Ka Shing Library, where staff members gathered in coordinated red T-shirts to sing the national anthem and commemorate Singapore’s National Day. The image reflects a strong sense of community, unity, and national pride among the university community. Prominently positioned at the front of the gathering are Professor Arnoud De Meyer, President of SMU, and Professor Lily Kong, Provost of SMU, leading staff in this annual tradition.
