Insights of SUSScribe
Dear Fellow Alumni,
Welcome to Issue 61 of SUSScribe! I am delighted to embark on this first issue for 2023 with you. It is also my first as the Editor of our SUSS Alumni Newsletter. Heartfelt thanks to Dennis Tan, our previous Editor, who transitions from editorship to that of a columnist.
A Symbiotic Relationship
Do I Know You?
Strangers are friends that we have not met. How true! If only we give ourselves a chance, break the ice, and start a conversation.
If we apply this to the alumni community, there are at least 44,000 potential friends out there.
