Congratulations on your graduation from NUS. I hope the days beyond the university have been exciting ones, and that you are poised to make important contributions to society.

A warm welcome to the Life Sciences Alumni Network (LAN). The setting up of LAN is the first step towards a better link between the Life Sciences Undergraduate Program Committee (LS-UPC) and our alumni. The development of a closely knitted fraternity between past, present and future alumni will be a bond that the LAN is striving to kindle and nurture.

I am delighted to invite you to explore the LAN, where you will have access to a wealth of information and updates about the Life Sciences Program. We have postings under the "Jobs" section for you to network with employers. You could also stay connected to your lecturers and friends by checking out their news from "Research Gallery", "Headlines" and "Shining Stars". Also, discover rewarding opportunities to upgrade oneself through "Life-long Learning".

We look to our alumni for advice, advocacy and support and will always keep the lines of communication open. We also want to hear about your successes which we can share with the Life Sciences Alumni through LAN. Do spread the word around and get your cohorts and course-mates to join in our network!
