Cornell Club of Singapore

A few weeks ago I attended the South East Asia Cornell Club meeting at the Museun of Asian Civilization, very close to my office by the Singapore River. Leaders from Japan, The Phillipines, Korea, Malaysia and Japan (among other places) came. The idea is to have a better integration and help with the fundraising campaign "Far Above" What I found very interesting is that at least 2 people flew from Ithaca to the event. I guess that shows the interest Asia is receiving recently.

I met some interesting people and I learned more about the new campaign that is raising funds for physical additions, scholarships and higher salaries for future professors. I'm planning on attending future events to learn more.
