IEM Reunion Party 2011
IEM Year 1 Student, Wang Xinling


On 23rd September 2011, the SRC Clubhouse witnessed another memorable event for the IEM students ¨C IEM Reunion Party. As the name suggests, it is a reunion for IEM undergraduates, alumni and professors.

This year, the number of attendees has reached a new cheering high of over a hundred. Besides students, some VIPs and advisors from the school also took part in this reunion party. They are: Professor Cheng Tee Hiang, Assoc Prof Teh Kah Chan, Assoc Prof Guan Yong Liang, Assoc Prof Chua Hock Chuan, Assoc Prof Chen Lihui, Assoc Prof Lin Zhiping and Assoc Prof Yap Kim Hui.

The party began with several ice-breaking games hosted by our emcees, Wong Ding Jie and Teo Ying Ying. Guests had fun interacting with each other. Soon, the entire SRC lounge was brimming with fun and laughter. The annual IEM Design Competition also took place on the same day. The IEM family enthusiatically voted for their favorite designs as submitted by our very own students. Following up closely,Associate Professor Chua Hock Chuan gave a briefing about DIP/IA/IO Programmes to better prepare our fellow coursemates for their academic life ahead.

While enjoying the tasty barbeque food, students, alumni, professors shared experiences with each other, caught up with old friends and made new ones. The highlight came with the cake cutting ceremony. A baby-face-shaped cake decorated with a mortar board surrounded by 16 mini-cake of same design was presented to the guests, signifying the unity between the graduate alumni and the IEM family. After the cake sharing, guests were entertained by a series of musical and dance performances. The winners of design competition were announced.

All in all, this party is a true reflection of the IEM tradition. It is also our unique way of integrating our freshies into the family. Last but not least, a big THANK YOU to everyone who made this event such a tremendous success.
