The Shanghai NUS Law Alumni Reunion was the first reunion in our 60th Anniversary year, and it was held on Friday, 3 March 2017. A strong turnout of almost 70 alumni gathered at the InterContinental Shanghai Ruijin Hotel, and filled the elegant venue with the sound of chatter and laughter as they connected with one another and caught up with faculty members Associate Professor Eleanor Wong '85, Vice Dean (Student Affairs) and Associate Professor Joel Lee. Alumni and even current students from our LL.M.  (International Business Law) Programme were well-represented, and they were delighted to be reunited with classmates and to get to know other alumni. The event was also a welcome opportunity for our alumni based there to swap notes on life in Shanghai, and to break out into their native Singlish tongue with fellow Singaporeans. We hope to see many more of you at the next reunion!
