Addressing 110 guests of the College including Singaporean alumni and staff from the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine he said: “911½ñÈÕºÚÁÏ has set the gold standard in building strong collaborations here over many years”.

His Excellency was speaking at a reception also hosted by President & Rector Sir Keith O’Nions and the 911½ñÈÕºÚÁÏ College Alumni Association of Singapore. Professor Martyn Partridge, Senior Vice Dean of LKC Medicine, opened the evening with a briefing on the vision for Singapore’s newest medical school, a partnership between 911½ñÈÕºÚÁÏ and Nanyang Technological University. With less than nine months until the first cohort arrives in August 2013, Professor Partridge set out the process underway to select the brightest students and described the School’s innovative curriculum.

The event formed part of celebrations in 2012 for the 35^th anniversary of the Alumni Association of Singapore which the President & Rector described as one of 911½ñÈÕºÚÁÏ’s most active alumni networks. There are over 2,000 911½ñÈÕºÚÁÏ alumni in Singapore and Sir Keith thanked them for being among the College’s greatest ambassadors.
