It’s the <strong>NUSS</strong> Experience<br />

that Counts<br />

new members were welcomed in<strong>to</strong> the nUSS family at the new Members’ night<br />

as they began their journey of experiencing the best of nUSS.<br />

<strong>The</strong> atmosphere for an<br />

intimate evening was set<br />

as new members engaged<br />

in conversation and<br />

networking while enjoying<br />

the delicious buffet.<br />

Associate Professor Lau Geok<br />

Sub-Committee remarked, “We hope<br />

that the new members felt welcomed<br />

in<strong>to</strong> the Society during the event and<br />

will come <strong>to</strong> enjoy and be involved<br />

in the many activities we have. <strong>The</strong><br />

good turnout by the Management<br />

Committee members shows that<br />

they consider the new members<br />

as important and wish <strong>to</strong> see them<br />

experience being a part of the Society,<br />

its vision and activities.”<br />

A/Prof Lau also encouraged them<br />

<strong>to</strong> meet other fellow members and<br />

form a core group of ‘buddies’ whom<br />

they will meet often <strong>to</strong> experience<br />

and enjoy <strong>NUSS</strong> facilities and<br />

activities <strong>to</strong>gether.<br />

New member Mr Varun Manocha,<br />

an engineer, commented, “It feels<br />

great <strong>to</strong> be a member. I really look<br />

forward <strong>to</strong> meeting new people and<br />

“I visited the guild<br />

house <strong>to</strong> take a<br />

<strong>to</strong>ur of the facilities<br />

and once I had<br />

taken a look, I was<br />

convinced it was<br />

worth it and signed<br />

up on the<br />

spot.”<br />

also signing up for different section<br />

groups and workshops offered by<br />

<strong>NUSS</strong>. I heard about the <strong>NUSS</strong><br />

membership during my graduation<br />

fair. A year later, a friend of mine<br />

signed up and <strong>to</strong>ld me about all<br />

the perks that <strong>NUSS</strong> offers <strong>to</strong> new<br />

members. I visited the guild house <strong>to</strong><br />

take a <strong>to</strong>ur of the facilities and once<br />

I had taken a look, I was convinced<br />

it was worth it and signed up on<br />

the spot.”<br />

new facilities and they have given me<br />

an opportunity <strong>to</strong> meet new people.<br />

It feels great <strong>to</strong> hit the gym and<br />

swimming pool after a <strong>to</strong>ugh day at<br />

work. I had visited <strong>NUSS</strong> as a student<br />

previously and was quite impressed<br />

by the facilities.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> new members and guests<br />

were welcomed <strong>with</strong> an acoustic<br />

performance by two MC members<br />

and a lucky draw <strong>with</strong> one of the<br />

coveted prizes being the new iPad —<br />

a nice start <strong>to</strong> the many experiences<br />
