南洋大学毕业生协会简介

A. Our Alma Mater

The founding of our Alma Mater, the Nanyang University, affectionately called Nantah, is the crystallization of the aspiration of the Chinese community to pursue excellence. During the colonial days, Nantah has taken a long and uneven route before it was incorporated as a company known as Nanyang University Limited on 5 May 1953. Credit, must therefore,be given to the founder, the late Mr. Tan Lark Sye for his sheer grit and etermination to build Nantah under the adverse circumstances of the time.

Being an active promoter of academic activities, besides co-organizing international academic symposia with institutions of higher learning and academic societies, ANUG has also been organizing a series of talks annually featuring both local and overseas speakers. The establishment of S$1.92 m Tan Lark Sye Professorship in Chinese Language and Culture is a culmination of ANUG efforts in academic promotion. This professorship was established in commemoration of Mr Tan's contribution towards education.

When ANUG hosted the 4th Global Reunion of Nantah Alumni in 1995 at the NTU campus, it took the opportunity to raise S$50,000.00 for the NTU Student Union fund, of which, ANUG donate a sum of S$10,000.00. In 1997 and 2000, ANUG raised S$15,000.00 each for the setting up of two awards, i.e. The Association of Nanyang University Graduates Gold Metal Awards for top graduates of National Institute of Education and Nanyang Business School.

Each year, ANUG organizes a wide spectrum of activities to foster closer ties among our alumni here. At the same time, forging cordial relationships with our overseas counterparts has never been forgotten. Since the inception of the First Global Nantah Alumni Reunion held in Toronto in 1992. ANUG has been actively encouraging our members to participate in every reunion and when it hosted the 4th Reunion in 1995, the number of participatnts hit the record of more than 5,000.
