Elliot Loo, a graduate from the Diploma in Pharmaceutical Science, shared his thoughts as a representative of the graduating cohort, "Today, I reflect on my journey from being a Polytechnic Foundation Program (PFP) student to this very moment of graduation. I am filled with a mix of emotions - pride, gratitude, and a touch of humility."

He continued, "Entering NYP as a PFP student, I couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority and inadequacy when compared to my peers entering via the O-Level route. But much of the worries proved to be for nothing as here I am, three years later, doing better than fine."

 

The graduation ceremony served as a testament to the dedication and perseverance of the graduates. As they embark on new endeavours, they carry with them the knowledge, skills, and memories forged during their time at Nanyang Polytechnic. The Class of 2024 is ready to make meaningful contributions to their respective fields and to society at large.

 

Congratulations to the graduates, and may their futures be filled with success and fulfilment.
