We're thrilled to highlight the incredible moment when our Chief Information Technology Officer (CITO), Tan Shui-Min, took the stage as a keynote speaker at #InspireInclusion - Celebrating and Inspiring Women in Tech at the School of Computing! 🌟

This event, hosted by NUS' Women in Tech (WIT) student interest group, brought together over 100 students from various institutes of higher learning.

In her keynote, our CITO eloquently delved into her presentation theme, 'Insights from a Woman in IT: One Perspective, Many Visions.' Her words, "Embracing feminism means disregarding stereotypes and gender biases, and pursuing your calling with unwavering commitment, integrity, and humility!" resonated deeply with the students, inspiring them to break barriers and pursue their passions fearlessly.

Let's keep pushing for diversity and inclusion in the tech world, making sure it's a place where everyone feels empowered and valued! 💪✨
