"By transcending physical boundaries and distances, ReadSMU hopes to create a realm for the meeting of minds - where thoughts and ideas may be allowed to grow and flourish."
SMU student Alvina Teh,
chairperson of the ReadSMU Committee
Inspired by the Read Singapore campaign by the National Library Board, ReadSMU is a student-driven project, believed to be the first university-wide Read campaign.
Launched on 5 August at the Li Ka-shing Library, ReadSMU intends to encourage the SMU community to reach beyond their typical reading (or non-reading!) routines and cultivate an ongoing quest for knowledge and learning. In line with the SMU guiding principle of taking a broad-based, holistic approach to education, ReadSMU also serves to draw the community closer together by providing a common platform for intellectual discussion, debate and the exchange of ideas.
