                  A–Z: Infinite possibilities come alive at SMU Patron’s Day 2026
                  On 30 January 2026, Campus Green was transformed into a vibrant hub of celebration as students, staff, alumni, and members of the public gathered for SMU Patron’s Day 2026. The lively afternoon flowed seamlessly into an evening of colour, music, and community spirit, featuring highlights such as the SMU Makers showcase, the Inter-Faculty Tug-of-War, and a series of performances under the stars. The festive atmosphere reflected the energy and creativity of the SMU community. The excitement began days earlier with a Patron’s Day roadshow held from 26 to 28 January, where participants enjoyed games and activities inspired by the theme, “A–Z: Infinite Possibilities.” As one of SMU’s longest-standing traditions since 2000, Patron’s Day commemorates the University’s incorporation and honours its Patrons, from President S R Nathan to current Patron President Tharman Shanmugaratnam. The 2026 celebration served as a powerful reminder that, just as 26 letters can form endless words, the SMU community continues to create limitless possibilities together. This video features the highlights of SMU Patron's Day 2026, capturing the vibrant celebrations, community spirit and memorable moments that brought students, staff, alumni, and the public together.

                                                  SMU Ambassadorial Corps in a nutshell
                                                  Established in August 2003, the SMU Ambassadorial Corps (ASMU) provides outstanding undergraduates with a platform to develop and demonstrate their capabilities as ambassadors and external relations representatives of the University. As Student Ambassadors, members are often the first point of contact for visiting guests, including foreign VIP delegations, as well as prospective students and their families. They also represent SMU at major institutional occasions such as Patron’s Day and the Arts Festival. Guided by ASMU’s core values, ambassadors play a pivotal role in shaping visitors’ impressions of the University and reinforcing its brand. This is achieved through the careful planning and coordination of well-executed campus tours, gracious hosting of external guests and dignitaries, and active support of events that present SMU to local and international audiences. Through these responsibilities, ambassadors gain meaningful, hands-on experience that strengthens their relationship management, communication, and logistical coordination skills. In this video, Mr Aamod Mehrish, Ms Shana Chia, and Mr Nigel Siew share their experiences as Student Ambassadors and reflect on how the role has contributed to their personal growth and development.
