Freshmen Team-Building  
July & August
     
 
As the traditional rite of passage into the SMU fraternity, our Freshmen Team-Building (FTB) Camps are not your usual orientation fare. As its name suggests, FTB Camps immerse freshmen in fun, exuberant and transformative adventures. Freshmen get to experience situational challenges, outdoors elements for self-discovery and participate in team building activities that emphasise the SMU CIRCLE values of commitment; integrity; responsibility; collegiality; leadership and excellence. Over three days and two nights, friendships are formed, leadership skills gained and the collegial spirit takes root.

SMU Peace Day 2007: A fast, a film, a forum and 10 pillars, all for peace


 

SMU Peace Day is observed on 21 Sep every year, in conjunction with the UN International Day of Peace. It commemorates the spirit of peace among nations, and reinforces the message that peace should not be taken for granted. With the theme of “Peace and Freedom”, Peace Day 2008 saw SMU students creating art canvases that were displayed in a mixed-media art exhibition. Some other event highlights included a film screening on a landmine victim and a former child soldier in Cambodia, and a forum where notable speakers were invited to share their insights on the invisible human trade in Southeast Asia.

     
     
Sports Fiesta

Sports Fiesta comprises a series of land games and activities such as street-soccer and dodge ball. Usually held at Campus Green, these friendly matches are organised for students to try their hand at the sports in a recreational way. Done ala fiesta style, with shops selling tidbits and the whole place converted into a large playground, this year's event consisted of five main games, as well as an inter-CCA jousting match.
