About Us

For long, NIE’s ever-growing graduate student population has not been represented by a student body which is dedicated to nurturing a healthy and meaningful learning environment for the students. Feeling this absence, with the support of the Office of Graduate Studies and Professional Learning (GPL), a group of passionate volunteers initiated a proposal of NIEGSC and drafted its constitution in late 2018. With the approval of NTU Student Affairs Office and the endorsement of all NIE graduate students, the club was officially formalized in Feb 2019.

The Constitution

Mission
To foster a cohesive, conducive, and vibrant environment by championing students' rights and organising meaningful as well as engaging activities targeted at graduate students


Vision
A conducive, cohesive and vibrant community for all graduate students


Motto
To serve with pride and passion


Tagline
By students for students
