Graduation Gift Campaign - Think giving, Feel giving, Act giving

By Darshini Jeyasimman, President, 8th Student Council, Republic Polytechnic

As the former president of the Student Council, I would like to suggest that we collectively give back to RP in a way that will help our juniors who may face financial challenges. It is with this intent that we, the 8th Student Council, are proposing "The Graduation Gift Campaign". This campaign is a way for the graduating cohort to leave a legacy upon our graduation. We will be the FIRST of many to start a tradition of giving back to RP and our friends.

Our tagline for this campaign – "Think giving, Feel giving, Act giving" – The gift does not need to have a lot of zeros behind because every gift counts! It's all about making a difference to the lives of our juniors. Parents, faculty, and friends are welcome to give a gift. All gifts will proceed to the Student Needy Fund.

We, the 8th Student Council, hope to garner your support for this new "Graduation Gift Campaign" and let's be the trend-setter for it!

To make this easy for all of us, OSG and the Schools have agreed to allow us the opportunity to contribute to this campaign during the Networking sessions that will be organised for all of us. So when we attend these sessions, let us dig deep and give what we can. No amount will be deemed too little but we do hope we can all give generously.

In the course of the coming weeks, I will also share with you other online ways through which we can contribute. Till then, take care and all the best for the UTs!

Should you need any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Student and Graduate Affairs (OSG) at help-graduate@rp.edu.sg and our friendly OSG Staff will attend to you promptly.
