NUS School of Computing:
Celebrating 10 Years as a Faculty & 33 Years of Computing Excellence

 
 

 



 


Come 1 July 2008, NUS School of Computing will be 10 years old as a faculty. Yet its history stretches more than two decades beyond that – to when it was the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science (DISCS) in the Faculty of Science, and before that, the Department of Computer Science in the Singapore University-Nanyang University Joint Campus days.


To mark its 10 years of history as a faculty and 33 years of excellence in Computing research and learning in Singapore, the School has lined up a series of events from April to August 2008. The events kicked off with the Official Launch of the SoC 10th Anniversary Celebrations on 17 August 2008, which included the unveiling of the celebration logo (shown left), the screening of a photo montage outlining the School’s history, the official opening of the NUS Students Computing Club Student Lounge, the launch of the NUS Students Computing Club Games Server and staff-student games (see photo highlights below).


Look out for more SoC 10th Anniversary Celebrations events, including: SoC 10th Anniversary Pool Fest 2008, SoC 10th Anniversary Freshmen Orientation Project, SoC 10th Anniversary Commemorative Distinguished Speakers Public Symposium, SoC 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner.
