We love any excuse to celebrate and catch up with friends, old and new, and we think a 20th anniversary is a pretty good one. We became a school in our own right in 1998, after outgrowing our ‘station’ as the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science (DISCS) within the Faculty of Science. But our story actually begins earlier, in 1975, when we were just Nanyang University’s fledgling Department of Computer Science (DCS)—the first in Singapore. Since then, we’ve gone from strength to strength and, with our outstanding faculty members, talented students and sought after graduates, NUS School of Computing (SoC) regularly ranks among the world’s best computing schools.

Whether you graduated four decades ago, or earlier this year, you, together with our current students, faculty members and staff, are all part of our NUS Computing family! Our gala dinner is the perfect avenue for you not only to catch up with your friends and profs, but also to meet those who have paved the way before you, and those who will be following your footsteps. You’ll have the opportunity to meet driven, enterprising computing talents who are beginning their careers and may eventually be valuable members of your team, as well as experienced, influential industry leaders who may play a role in your next career move.

So don’t miss out. Come along and have a fun evening hanging out with old friends, mentors, colleagues and professors, reminiscing about the good times you all had at NUS Computing.
