26 March 2015 - Class of 2013 Reunion Dinner



Two years after graduation, 19 alumni from the MD class of 2013 gathered at Beirut Grill on 26 March 2015 in a rare reunion of old classmates. Such reunions are few and far between as doctors often have hectic and busy schedules. Dr Padmastuti Akella, who was the main organiser for the reunion, is determined to continue to organise such gatherings every month. "The point of it is to start a class tradition. They all know that it's going to be a casual dinner, even if there are just four people it still counts as a gathering."

Keeping up with old classmates is especially important as busy schedules often leave little to no time for them to catch up with one another. As such, the Duke-NUS Alumni Relations Office supports and provides sponsorship for such gatherings.

If you are keen on seeking sponsorship for a class reunion, please contact the Alumni Relations Office at alumni@duke-nus.edu.sg.
 
27 March 2015 - Inaugural PhD Alumni Networking Dinner



The Duke-NUS Alumni Relations Office organised an inaugural PhD alumni networking dinner on 27 March 2015 to build stronger connections among our alumni and students.

With a total of 14 PhD, MD, MD/PhD alumni and students gathered at d'Good Café, it was certainly a hearty gathering. Interacting and bonding over dinner, they also had the added bonus of learning more about how the professional networking site LinkedIn can help them in their career paths. Two guest speakers from LinkedIn presented and shared invaluable tips and insights with the participants.

28 March 2015 - First Alumni Movie Matinee

On 28 March 2015, more than 50 alumni and students came together at Golden Village VivoCity to watch The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015).

It turned out that the action-packed movie was a crowd pleaser! When asked if they would come for more movie matinees, all of them voted 'yes' enthusiastically! This first Movie Matinee was initiated by the Duke-NUS Medical Alumni (DNMA) society and organised by the Duke-NUS Alumni Relations Office.

With support from the Duke-NUS Alumni Relations Office, the Duke-NUS Medical Alumni (DNMA) society and former Duke-NUS chairman Mr Tony Chew jointly hosted a farewell dinner for Dean Ranga on 3 June 2015. It was an evening of nostalgia as Duke-NUS senior management, SingHealth leaders, Duke-NUS alumni and student leaders turned up to show their appreciation and bid a fond farewell to Dean Ranga who is stepping down after seven years of illustrious leadership at Duke-NUS. After the thank you speeches and presentation of farewell gifts to Dean Ranga, they enjoyed the scrumptious buffet dinner and exquisite wines specially offered by Mr Chew.

On 22 June 2015, 11 Duke-NUS paediatric residents enjoyed camaraderie and connections at their first annual dinner that was fully sponsored by the Duke-NUS Alumni Relations Office. They introduced, chatted and welcomed the new paediatric residents who will be starting work on 1 July 2015.

29 June 2015 - Internal Medicine Alumni Group's First Annual Dinner



New friendships and bonds were forged as the SingHealth's Chief IM Resident and 15 Duke-NUS internal medicine residents gathered to meet over dinner for the first time on 29 June 2015.

The group leader, Dr Ignasius Jappar, plans to have such gatherings on a more regular basis (twice a year or so). In addition, buddy groups comprising alumni from different years will be formed to allow small group mentoring. The dinner also included the residency briefing for the incoming House Officers.

The Duke-NUS Alumni Relations Office will be working with the group to do a similar briefing/dinner event next year, but at an earlier time for the incoming IM residents.
