Hey SCIS!! πŸ˜›πŸ˜›πŸ˜›
I’m Kyra, a y2 IS student running for the 22nd Ellipsis Management Committee⭐️

My experience in SMU so far has been full of ups and downs (sch is tough...), but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself 😁😁

I strongly believe that school life, especially in SMU with no hall, is about what you actively choose to do with it. I want to make computing events more enjoyable for you to have even more fond memories to look back on from your SMU journey πŸŽ†

Vote for me to help me make it happen! πŸ’ž

HEY SCIS! ❀️‍πŸ”₯

I’m Chong Yee, and I’m excited to be running for the 22nd Ellipsis MC! πŸ˜†

Like many of you, my time here hasn’t just been about lectures or assignments 🫩-it’s also been about the people. 😝 From late night grinds to celebrating small wins after tough projects πŸŽ‰, I’ve seen how much SCIS shines when we support each other. 🀝

Over the past year, I’ve gained so much from these experiences, and now I want to give back ☺️. By creating a supportive and inspiring environment for everyone, I believe we can make our SCIS journey not just manageable but meaningful, rewarding and fun! πŸ’ͺπŸ’–

So let’s CHONG together for a stronger, more connected SCIS community! πŸ₯°βœ¨

πŸ—³ Look out for the voting link in your emails from 22-26 Sep and let’s make this year an amazing one together! πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

HEY SCIS 🎊!

I’m Shirin ✨ and I’m excited to share that I am running for the 22nd ELLIPSIS MC πŸ₯³

Being a part of Meta, Ellipsis welfare drives, and Coder’s Assembly throughout my time in SMU so far has been an enriching journey πŸ—ΊοΈ, as organising and participating in these events has allowed me to bring joy πŸŽ‰ and smiles πŸ˜„ to those around me. This has also given me the chance to play a small role in strengthening the SCIS community, and I am truly grateful πŸ’«.

Now, I am prepared to step up 🫑πŸ’ͺ and give back by creating more moments where everyone feels welcomed 🀝, supported & included πŸ«‚. I strive to listen to your voices πŸ—£οΈ and help make SCIS a place where our journeys are not only about academics πŸ“š, but also about friendships πŸ’–, laughter & meaningful memories πŸ₯Ή. With YOUR support, πŸ’›βœ¨ YOU 🫡 can make your SCIS journey shimmer with me πŸ’›βœ¨.

πŸ’› Keep a lookout for the elections link from 22–26 September 2025 and don’t forget to VOTE FOR SHIRIN πŸ’Ÿ, so we can make our SCIS journey shine together βœ¨πŸ’›!

🀩 Hey SCIS! 🀩

I’m Delroy, from Y2 Software Engineering, and I am running for the 22nd Ellipsis MC! πŸŽ‰

My first year in SCIS was a doozy, juggling learning completely new topics coupled with the sudden shift to Uni life. The SCIS community has helped me immeasurably, not just in academics, but in making friends and connections that will hopefully last for life. 🫢

It is my deepest desire to pay back for everything that has helped me the past year. πŸ’š

My promise to you is that I will commit my utmost to Ellipsis, prioritise the SCIS community, and ensure that our student life is as best as can be!

Vote for me, and let’s make this into a reality. πŸ’«

πŸ—³ Voting period is from 22-26 Sept, do check your emails then!
