Class of 2009 urged to seize opportunities as countries rush to put in place new policies and structural reforms to get economies back on track.
Opportunities abound in the eye of the storm if one takes a positive perspective of the global economic crisis. There is no better time than now for a young person to embark on a bold, adventurous and satisfying career, said Mr Lim Chee Onn, Senior Advisor of Keppel Corporation Limited, who graced SMU’s sixth Commencement ceremony as the Guest-of-Honour.
More than 1,370 graduands converged at Suntec City on 11 July 2009 for Commencement 2009, celebrating with their family members and friends the highest point of their education at SMU and the start of a journey into working life. Some 1,100 graduated with bachelor’s degrees in Business Management, Accountancy, Information Systems Management, Economics and Social Science, of which one in ten was awarded double degrees. Another 270 received their master’s degrees in Applied Finance, Wealth Management, Professional Accounting, Finance, Economics, Applied Economics and Management. |

"You are graduating during a period that is unprecedented in the
world’s history in terms of opportunities and variety for the bold and
adventurous. I am confident that with the strong foundation you have
acquired during your stint in SMU, you are well-equipped to thrive
against the uncertain backdrop of the next few years. I have no doubt
that eventually you will soar with the updraft that will surely return and
you will achieve a fulfilling and successful career of your choice."
