NGS Scholars’ Alliance (NGSSA) was established in December 2005 to serve as a platform for exchange and interaction amongst all NGS scholars. In order to develop and nurture world-class scholars at NGS, there is a need to provide opportunities for the interaction and exchange of ideas amongst students. This student body will also facilitate the personal development and leadership training of scholars.
NGSSA comprises of three committees:
A) Scholar Development
Events which foster intellectual growth will be organized by the Scholar Development committee in the form of workshops, discussion groups and primarily, the Peer Mentorship programme. Peer mentorship is a system by which new scholars can be paired up with senior scholars, so that senior scholars can provide academic & administrative advice.
B) Social Welfare
Social activities will be organized to improve interaction amongst NGS scholars. Events range from casual pub nights to assisting with NGS Banquet and Year-End Gathering.
C) Communications
The Communications committee provides and maintains communication amongst the scholars, including NGS Scholars’ Alliance website, Facebook page, newsletter, publicity posters, etc, allowing scholars to showcase articles of their research work and stay informed of NGS Scholars’ Alliance activities.
