MSE Photo Instagram Competition 2014

Hi all!! The 8th MSESIG Committee has decided to organise a MSE Photo Instagram Competition during this summer hols 

The overarching theme of the event is “MSE: a home of memories”

A student has to take a photo of himself/herself doing something that is part of MSE, or even with a person from MSE (criteria is that it has got to do with something from MSE), and submit it to the Instagram account of MSESIG by tagging “nusmsesig” in it.

The MSESIG committee of that time will then look at the photos taken during that time and then decide on which one to award the prize to. The genre can be anything, ranging from funny stories to boring stories or whatsoever as long as it has got to do with something that is linked to what the student will remember MSE by.

Winners will be determined every 2 weeks and they stand to win up to $50 worth of Capitamall vouchers!!  
SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR????? Start taking photos and even selfies TODAY!!

MSE Chill and Career Talk 2013

The NUS 8th MSESIG has proudly presented our "MSE Chill and Career Talk 2013" at the Chill Lab of NUSS Guild House to our fellow MSE community! Our first undergrads-alumni event has provided a platform for our MSE family to mingle and share. Through this sharing session, it has enlightened our MSE undergraduates about the various companies, job applications, writing essays for research opportunities and internships. Food and beverage were catered for the MSE community during the event.

Our intentions and decision to organise this event was rooted to the fact that many current MSE students are worried about their job prospects and unsure about their future directions, of which should they continue to pursue graduate programs or directly apply for jobs. This event provided an excellent opportunity for them to clear their doubts and give them a clearer picture of their future paths after graduation. We hope that through this event, students would get a better idea of what kind of careers they would like to be involved in, after their undergraduate studies. 

In addition, we will like to express our gratitude to the alumni. Their willingness to share their views and experiences to the undergraduates during this event, contributed to the success of the event! The event would not be possible without their active participation.

The committee also hopes that through the MSE events that we organise throughout the year, the MSE community would be able to maintain strong bonds among each other and also with the alumni. 

Thank you! And enjoy your winter holidays! ^^

Cheers, 
NUS 8th MSESIG Executive Committee
