Dear Members and Alumni,
Commencement came and went with Tom Hanks addressing the entire Class of 2023 and Michelle Yeoh delivering the address to the HLS crowd. We have our own Harvard celebrities visiting us in Singapore on June 11 - the Kroks! Join us for what will be a memorable afternoon of singing and camaraderie. You may even pick up a few pointers and walk away inspired to start your own a capella group.
AI has also been the rage the last few weeks with chatGPT being used to draft this president’s message (j/k). On a more serious note, please join us at the next event in the Ideas Lunch series as we learn how generative AI will impact the future of innovation.
Also, in the works, a comedy night - if any of you used to be with the Lampoon, or have a funny bone and are qualified to do stand-up comedy, write to me ([email protected]) so that we can brainstorm on how to bring the funnies to Singapore.
Most importantly, thank you to all who put your names in to volunteer! I will be in touch, I promise. To everyone else, please let’s see a show of hands and give us a tap to show your interest here.
See you all very soon!

Welly Tantono
President, HCS
