Women of Courage II:  The Fighting Spirit

Hear the stories of our alumnus who bravely fought cancer and dedicating her time for voluntary work.

Continuing from the series of the Women of Courage Forum, the second edition of the forum concentrates on educating the youths on the awareness of breast cancer as well as dispelling the myths of cancer.

The forum features our alumnus, Sham Van Boonstra-Nasution, the ex President of UNSW’s Singapore Student Association, who despite her battle with stage 4 breast cancer, continues to be an active member of CANTEEN, an Australian organization for young people living with cancer as an Event & Psychosocial Volunteer. Sham is also active as a UN Youth Group Member and UNHCR. (click here for Sham’s full biography)

Women of Courage II: The Fighting Spirit will also be inviting speakers including the Executive Director of Breast Cancer Foundation (BCF), Angelina who shares the importance of the support group to these patients.  Panel speakers also include an oncologist and a cosmetic surgery surgeon to share their experiences in helping the patients.

2006 Asia New College Alumni reunion dinner in Singapore

More details...

----------------------------------------------------------------

"Equipping tomorrow’s leaders in business and government" The law and its learning in business and government leadership

Why do markets and societies where the rule of law dominates have an edge over others?

In business environments, how often do you find that someone else seems to know something of legal issues, structures and principles and you would do better if you did?

How can a better knowledge of the law equip any market, any industry and any society and its government?

Come and dine with us, spend some time with fellow alumni and hear Professor Leon Trakman (Dean of Faculty of Law of one of the region’s leading law schools, well-known educator, internationally recognised thought leader in his field, and expert practitioner) use rich illustrations to provide fascinating and highly relevant insights into these issues.
