On 29 July 2026, the SMU alumni community in Ho Chi Minh City came together for an evening of meaningful conversations, warm reunions, and authentic Vietnamese hospitality at Quan Bui Central to celebrate the enduring SMU spirit.

OAR Director, Florence Neo, opened the evening by sharing the latest alumni engagement initiatives and reaffirmed SMU's commitment to supporting its global alumni community.

This was followed by updates from Yvonne Chan, Chief Financial Officer & Vice President, who shared SMU’s journey and initiatives in sustainable finance, and Prasanthi Guda, Director of the SMU Dato' Kho Hui Meng Career Centre, who highlighted the lifelong career support and resources available to alumni beyond graduation.

We were also delighted to have Kenneth Choo, Director of the Office of Overseas Centres, and Viet Anh V., Centre Director of SMU Vietnam join us to share about SMU’s overseas centres, reflecting SMU's continued commitment to strengthening its presence and partnerships in Vietnam and across Asia.

From inspiring conversations over great food to the energetic group photo poses, the night reflected the strength and vibrancy of our global SMU network. A heartfelt thank you to all the alumni and guests who joined us and made the evening so special!

Earlier in the day, the team also met with alumni who were at the “𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: 𝑫𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑽𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆, 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑻𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒕” dialogue session organised by 𝗦𝗠𝗨 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺, SMU Career Services and SMU Global Education Programmes and Opportunities.

𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙪𝙥. 𝘽𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙣𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠.

Some of life's greatest opportunities begin with the connections you make.

Whether you're building your career in Singapore or embarking on a new adventure overseas, you'll always be part of the SMU alumni community.

Reconnect with classmates, meet fellow alumni across industries, expand your professional network, or join one of our local and overseas alumni communities. From networking events and reunions to social gatherings and shared experiences, there are countless opportunities to build meaningful relationships that last a lifetime.

Being part of the SMU alumni community is about more than staying connected. It's about growing together, celebrating one another's milestones, opening doors for each other, and creating opportunities that extend well beyond graduation.

Congratulations once again, Class of 2026, and welcome to the SMU alumni community! This is just the beginning of your alumni journey. Here's to new friendships, new opportunities, and 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙩 𝙐𝙥 together.

𝙎𝙩𝙚𝙥 𝙪𝙥. 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙩 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨.

Every alumnus has something valuable to offer.

Whether you're mentoring a student, volunteering at alumni events, sharing your expertise as a speaker, leading an alumni community or supporting initiatives that strengthen our network, your time and experience can help others grow and thrive.

The SMU community grows stronger because alumni continue lifting one another up.

Your impact doesn't end at graduation.

Sometimes, it begins there.

We kicked off the 7th run of the SMU Mentoring Pinnacle with DBS on 23 July, with our Director, Florence Neo (Assoc Alum), delivering the welcome address and reflecting on the programme's success over the years. The energy in the room was a powerful reminder of what makes this programme so meaningful.

This year, we welcomed 67 DBS Bank senior executive mentors who will be guiding 163 SMU alumni mentees over the coming months. And half of our mentors have chosen to return speaks volumes about the impact of the programme.

Our heartfelt thanks to our DBS mentors for generously investing their time, experience, and insights, and to our alumni mentees for embracing the journey ahead with curiosity, openness, and purpose.

As this new mentoring chapter begins, we wish all our mentors and mentees a rewarding and fulfilling experience, filled with valuable conversations and fresh perspectives for growth.

On 22 July 2026, the Office of Alumni Relations hosted the inaugural SMU Class Alumni Leaders Investiture, formally welcoming newly appointed Class Alumni Leaders from the Classes of 2025, 2026 and 2027.

Nominated by their respective Schools for their leadership, commitment and influence within the SMU community, these alumni have taken on a new role beyond graduation. As Class Alumni Leaders, they will help their cohorts stay connected with one another and SMU, while strengthening the University’s alumni network for years to come.

The event was attended by School representatives and University leaders, including SMU Provost Professor Alan Chan. In his address, Professor Chan congratulated the newly appointed Class Alumni Leaders and encouraged them to continue making a difference by strengthening connections within their cohorts and the wider SMU alumni community.

In her welcome address, Florence Neo (Assoc Alum), Director of the Office of Alumni Relations, reminded the newly appointed leaders that while their student leadership chapter may have come to a close, their impact is only just beginning.

The investiture also celebrated the Class Alumni Leader community across generations, as returning leaders joined the occasion to welcome the newly appointed leaders and mark the continued growth of the community.

During the session, OAR shared the various ways it will support Class Alumni Leaders in organising reunions, engaging their classmates and creating meaningful opportunities for alumni to reconnect. Leaders were also encouraged to rally their cohorts for upcoming initiatives, beginning with SMU Alumni Homecoming 2026 happening in August.

Congratulations once again to all our Class Alumni Leaders, both newly appointed and returning. Thank you for choosing to continue serving the SMU community. We look forward to working alongside you to build an even more vibrant and connected alumni network.
