Graduate Welcome Party

A graduate welcome Night for new chemistry students is proposed to warmly welcome new graduate students and to introduce them to current graduate students, which might help them to successfully combat years ahead in NUS. This occasion would allow fresher to quickly shed off all inhibitions in new environment, foster good relationship with each other, bring them closer to senior graduate students, and make them aware of student activities in the department. With this event, we would like to kick start this tradition of welcoming new students and making them part active members in chemistry community.
