We're proud to announce that at this year's Rag & Flag 2022, our NUS Computing students clinched the gold award for their fundraising efforts during Flag Day! 🙌 They raised some S$20,000, with the proceeds going towards charity programmes supported by Community Chest through 21 Social Service Agencies (SSAs).

Our students also put up a spirited dance performance at University Town Green last weekend, and clinched the bronze award at Rag (Receiving and Giving) Day. Well done, folks! 💃🏻🕺🏾🪩
