Dear Union Members,
In light of Alcohol Awareness Week, NTUSU would like to remind students of the alcohol policies in NTU, as well as the importance of drinking responsibly.
It has been brought up to NTUSU that there has been an increasing spate of students found drinking irresponsibly and performing unruly and inconsiderate behaviours due to the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Therefore, NTUSU would like to reiterate that we stand firmly against such behaviours and encourage students to observe good drinking habits and behave in a manner that does not endanger themselves or others regarding the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Should you choose to consume alcoholic beverages, please be mindful of the following:
- Drink responsibly. Know your limits.
- Ensure the safety of you and your friends.
- If you choose to drink, don’t forget to think carefully and plan ahead, such as planning how to make your way back to hall/home safely.
- When under the influence of alcohol, please do not drive.
As this is a matter that may compromise the safety of students and staff, the school is looking into the matter seriously and will not tolerate any misbehaviours. NTUSU will continue to work closely with the school management to ensure that NTU is a safe and conducive environment for all students and staff.
Should you have anything you want to raise to us, you may write in to https://bit.ly/u-feedback or su-feedback@e.ntu.edu.sg. We will do our best to address your concerns.
NTUSU would also like to wish you all the best for the examinations!

Dear Union Members,
NTUSU understands that there has been a recent reported case of assault that happened on campus. Those that were involved are currently aiding the police in their ongoing investigation.
For your own safety and to better aid the ongoing investigations, we urge everyone who is currently in NTU to stay indoors.
Safety is of the utmost importance. As part of the NTU community, let’s look out for one another. If you see anything suspicious, please do not hesitate to dial the Campus Security hotline (6790 5200) or the Emergency Hotline (999).

Dear Union Members,
On the evening of 14 December, the NTU Students’ Union received news about a possible case of assault within the campus. The Union took immediate action and contacted the Student Affairs Office and Office of Student Life - who confirmed the report. We were informed the police had taken over the case and investigation. We subsequently released statements on our Union channels and through our constituent bodies.
On behalf of the University, we are relieved to share that any incident of assault did not take place and all students are safe.
NTUSU expresses our gratitude to students for being viligant, and displaying care and concern for our fellow students. We would like to commend students for not causing any unnecessary alarm or panic.
We would like to take this opportunity to emphasise the prevelance of falsehoods and fake news. Fake news and falsehoods can be extremely dangerous and cause much unnecessary distress and confusion. We strongly urge students to be wary of sources of information and take additional measures to confirm the legitimacy and reliability of these sources. Speculation and spreading of fake news can hold serious repercussions.
Please refer to the official statement released by the University and the Police for further information: https://twitter.com/ntusg/status/1206043759059722240
We wish you a great Sunday ahead and thank you for your understanding.

Dear fellow Union Members,
Happy New Year! As the 29th NTU Students' Union (NTUSU) approaches the coming semester, we look back at our hard work, and also look forward to exciting new projects we have planned for the near future.
As students, we all share challenges both as a collective and also as individuals. 2020 promises to be an exciting year for us with many new initiatives and projects in the pipeline as we continue to work to create a better university experience for you and our student community – individuals, student organizations and the larger community.
As students living in the age of social media and relativism, the NTUSU Executive Committee appreciates the importance of building a culture for students to be your own best, particularly in the areas we aim to improve, such as Mental Health, Empowerment, Climate Change and Employability.
Every NTU student counts and has a key role in shaping the university experience for all of us. As such, the NTUSU Executive Committee will work tirelessly to ensure you (students) will remain the central focus of our journey in NTU. As part of that, here are some initiatives we have worked on in the past semester:
- Launch of U-Wave, an all-in-one campus app that helps bring you added convenience and accessibility to campus services and student initiatives. On the U-Wave app, you will be able to find information for bus timings, upcoming event details, class timetable, exam schedule and student discounts via NTUPerks. Peer level discussions student clubs/societies can now upload events on their own – students are now in the driver’s seat in promoting our own clubs and events.
- Fireside Chats to keep students up to date with industry demands in discussions and sharing sessions.
- Community inclusiveness, introduction of integration based events, student tours, and policy recommendations.
- Full review of our Campus Transport System with proposal to Housing Auxiliary Services for changes to the school campus bus system, including addition of more buses, improving the quality of service, reduced bunching and also increase of information.
- Increasing effective communication with students on various levels, ranging from constituent clubs, non-constituent clubs and Hall Councils. We have also expanded our communication with students on various outlets like email, social media channels and other various online platforms.
- Improved orientation, engaging with school on their proposed changes to orientation and mediated upcoming changes to ensure an optimal experience for both freshmen and seniors.
- Reviewing NTUSU's governance structure to support and reflect our increasingly broadened activities and ensure that we’re in the best position to develop new activities.
Mental health, Empowerment, Climate Change and Employability are the key areas NTUSU will to continue to focus on in the coming year ahead. We have prepared several extensive initiatives which I promise will improve our campus life, so stay tuned to our various social media channels.
Students are of the utmost importance and the need and will for us to merge our efforts are ever-growing. I hope you will all join me in looking forward to the coming year. On behalf of my fellow Executive Committee, Ussociates and Council members, I wish you and your family Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year ahead. Happy 2020!
