🌏 We had the pleasure of hosting our long-term friend, Dr Armand Derhy, Director and Founder of the Paris School of Technology & Business (PST&B), on 23 August. During his visit, Dr Derhy introduced PST&B’s cutting-edge programs that uniquely blend experiential learning with real-world application. Their approach equips business graduates with the confidence to navigate technological advancements, while technology graduates gain a solid understanding of essential business principles. James Cook University and PST&B share a commitment to innovation in education. Together, we aim to bring these forward-thinking programs to more students in France and beyond.

#Throwback to 13 July, where some of us attended the Purple Symphony’s 10th Anniversary! Purple Symphony is Singapore’s largest inclusive orchestra where over 100 musicians, both with and without special needs, come together to promote inclusion and celebrate abilities. The event, themed “When We Believe”, was a memorable one, with the musicians delivering a superb performance. We love seeing and being part of such commitment to inclusivity. Thank you for having us there, The Purple Symphony and Central Singapore Community Development Council! Photos credit: The Purple Symphony Carole-Anne Upton Pinky Sibal

Last week, we received the Merit in Innovation and Design category at the Singapore Environmental Achievement Awards 2024 organised by the Singapore Environment Council (SEC)! This recognition highlights our steadfast commitment to environmental stewardship and innovative approach to sustainable practices. For example, through strategic partnerships with the National Environment Agency (NEA) and the implementation of extensive eco-friendly initiatives, we have achieved significant milestones such as ISO 14001 certification, Green Mark Healthier Workplace status, and Eco Office accreditation. Our investment in solar energy technology also reflects our leadership in adopting renewable energy solutions and reducing our carbon footprint. We’ll continue working hard to foster a sustainable campus environment and drive positive change within the community! Grace Fu Kelvin Liu
