"The best part of organising such an event, I always feel, is the sense of “together-ness” with the inclusion of all stake-holders – alumni, staff and students."
- A/P Chin Wee Shong, Chair of 88th Anniversary Committee
NUS Chemistry recently celebrated its 88th Anniversary with a big dinner at The Fullerton Hotel! More than 370 guests attended the event, which also raised funds towards the “Chemistry Alumni Fund” that establishes scholarships for students like us.
​
NUS ACS Student Chapter was honoured to be invited to perform some pre-dinner demos, such as "Elephant Toothpaste" which was a crowd favourite, as well as "Water to Fanta Grape to Water" which allowed the alumni to participate in the demo itself.

On this happy occasion, the department has launched a commemorative publication ‘Celebrating 88 years of Chemistry in Singapore’ that traces a pictorial journey of the Department from 1929 till now. We are happy to share with you the publication (which could be read online here); you can read about the significant milestones that the department has attained and perhaps also spot some old photos of our professors. Enjoy!
