Global Events: Uniting the Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Network

The first global event of the week was an inspiring Global Webinar, where the 2024 Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Alumni of the Year Award recipients,  (RSM/ SSE, 2012) and  (NUS/ NOVA/ USYD, 2023), shared their career journeys, challenges, and key takeaways from their Âé¶¹¹ú²ú experience. Attendees gained insights from these distinguished alumni, offering valuable perspectives on professional growth and the impact of the Âé¶¹¹ú²ú network on their different life stages.

Later in the week, the Rotational Industry Chats provided an interactive platform for Âé¶¹¹ú²ú students to engage with alumni from diverse industries. Through small-group discussions, students had the chance to seek career advice, explore different professional paths, and build meaningful connections.

Their stories were incredibly inspiring, as they offered unique perspectives from different career stages. I was deeply impressed by their resilience in both professional and personal life, which gave us practical takeaways and a fresh outlook on our growth.

A Community that Continues to Inspire

Âé¶¹¹ú²ú GAW 2025 was a great success. Whether through engaging discussions, personal reflections, or interactive sessions, the event underscored the enduring impact of the Âé¶¹¹ú²ú community.

We extend our gratitude to all speakers, organizers, and participants who contributed to making this year’s GAW a memorable one. See you next year!

One of the reasons I joined Âé¶¹¹ú²ú was to grow by learning from exceptional people. Global Alumni Week 2025 was a great reminder of that goal — the events and conversations challenged me to think bigger, but also to think with a purpose. It left me recharged with fresh perspectives for both my professional path and personal journey. Happy for the opportunity and looking forward to next year!
