There’s more than one seat at the table.

At SMU’s dialogue with Professor Lily Kong on 12 October, Eileen Gu shared a simple but powerful thought: sometimes, you just need someone to give you the confidence to try.

When she was seven or eight and the only girl on her ski team, her coach challenged the team to slide a rail. Eileen went first. She nailed it, and her teammates surrounded her in celebration.

For the first time, she felt she belonged.

That story stayed with us because belonging often starts when someone opens a door, makes space or simply says: Go for it.

No one else has your mix of experiences, perspectives and skills. Your story is uniquely yours.

Women make up about 53% of SMU’s nearly 52,000 alumni. Imagine the stories, experiences and connections we have to share with one another. That’s what The SMU Women Alumni Group is about: women across graduating years opening doors for each other, learning from one another and cheering when someone goes first.

Join us to launch a new era.

🚀 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙟𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙨.

On 9 September, more than 300 SMU alumni mentors and student mentees gathered at the 𝗦𝗠𝗨 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲/𝟮𝟳 𝗞𝗶𝗰𝗸-𝗢𝗳𝗳 to mark the start of another exciting mentoring journey. With over 270 SMU alumni volunteers stepping forward as mentors, the evening was a powerful reminder of the strength of our alumni community and its commitment to supporting the next generation of SMU students.

Held at the Li Ka Shing Library, the event brought together students and alumni from diverse industries, including banking and financial services, technology, consulting, entrepreneurship, and more. Participants spent the evening making introductions, exchanging experiences and exploring potential mentoring matches for the months ahead.

The Kick-Off also marks the beginning of the 28th run of SMU's signature alumni-student mentoring programme, where meaningful conversations and connections made today may shape future careers, aspirations and personal growth. Over the next five months, mentors and mentees will embark on a journey of learning, reflection and mutual discovery through one-to-one mentoring relationships.

A heartfelt thank you to all our alumni mentors for paying it forward, and to our student mentees for taking the initiative to invest in their growth. We look forward to seeing the connections forged at the Kick-Off develop into impactful mentoring partnerships in the months ahead.

What do recurring aches, acupoints and that one painfully familiar spot during foot reflexology have in common? They sparked lively conversations at our third 𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙐𝙋 session held on 10 September 2026! 🙌

With nearly 50 alumni in attendance, we explored how evidence-based Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practices can complement Western medicine in supporting holistic well-being. Led by Dr Wong Lin Ho, one of the few practitioners in Singapore trained in both Western Medicine and TCM, the session offered a uniquely integrative approach to everyday wellness.

Through engaging stories, simple stretches, and hands-on acupressure techniques, Dr Wong demonstrated how both disciplines offer valuable perspectives on musculoskeletal health. While Western medicine focuses on diagnosing structural issues, managing inflammation, and restoring function, TCM views discomfort through the balance and circulation of qi (vital energy) and blood.

He also explained how foods high in fat and sugar can trigger inflammation from both perspectives, contributing to inflammatory responses in Western medicine while generating internal “𝘋𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴” (湿气) and “𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘵” (热气) in TCM. Thankfully, his advice was reassuring: there is no need to eliminate favourite indulgences altogether. Wellness is about moderation, not deprivation.

The session concluded with a lively Q&A moderated by Jason Tan (MCM 2013), covering everyday health concerns ranging from the safety and risks of herbal medicine to the efficacy of foot reflexology. The enthusiastic participation reflected a growing interest in understanding wellness through both Western and TCM lenses.

And yes, someone had to ask: 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴?
Dr Wong’s answer? 𝗡𝗼. It looks like there are no shortcuts after all! 😅
