On 26th September 2021, our NUS IT Management Team embarked on a gruelling and tiring 3km run, under the RunNUS 2021 event hosted by our NUS Students' Sports Club (NUSSSC), to raise funds for the Disabled People’s Association (DPA) and Singapore Disability Sports Council (SDSC).

The event was logistically supported by our very own Fun Club (NUS IT’s Staff Welfare Committee) to aid the management team on their journey. 🏃🏻‍♂🏃🏻‍♀

Equipped with their running gear, sunblock, sunglasses and lots of love and support from the entire department, our Management Team led the way to raise $5,678 for charity - way past our original target! 👏

A huge thanks to everybody in NUS IT and kudos to our Management Team! We are so thrilled to have been able to contribute to this meaningful cause. 🎉

Adding more excitement and updates to our recent post on #5G https://lnkd.in/gicZS5hk

We are delighted that this partnership between #NUS and #Starhub has enabled the university to get closer to its goal of becoming a Smart, Safe and Sustainable Campus.

In a recent post by National University of Singapore that highlighted 5G-enabled #initiatives, we learn of drones flown for #autonomous delivery and inspection of building facades and the establishment of integrated operation centres (IOC), with live video analytics for campus security.

#NUS_IT is really excited to be at the forefront of this partnership between NUS and Starhub that focuses and leverages the use of 5G #technology and #IoT!
