Invitation to hear President Tan Chorh Chuan at FASS (18 Sept 2012, LT13)

Dear Geography majors

It’s not often that FASS students get to hear from and interact with our NUS President Tan Chorh Chuan. You get this wonderful opportunity to do so as all Geography majors are invited next Tuesday, 18 September (4.00pm onwards at LT13) as President Tan shares on a highly geographical topic – travelling, art, self-discovery.  

You get to see many travel photographs taken by the President; art works he has done of places visited (sketches and Chinese paintings); and how ‘travel leads to self-discovery’. A fascinatingly geographical talk indeed!  

Please register your attendance at this event either by smart phone or emailing fasbox14@nus.edu.sg by 11th September. Tea/coffee/refreshments follow the event at 5.30pm.

Do register and discover a “different side” of our President!



Truly a Renaissance Man, NUS President Prof Tan Chorh Chuan’s many interests extend beyond science and academia to the arts and culture. We are thus honoured to present to you his well-received talk, entitled “Living in the Present through Travel and Art”.

Come join us for a session of tea and inspiration as Prof Tan shares his passion for landscape painting as well as insights he garnered from his travels and interactions with different cultures around the world. He will also share the photographs, sketches and paintings of the many memorable sights he took in China, India, England, Peru, Venezuela and many other places.

Don’t miss this opportunity to interact with Prof Tan and discover another side of the NUS President and Public Service Star recipient.


All the very best,
Dr T.C. Chang
