Dear Students

Welcome to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences!

I am the Student Support Manager from External Relations/Student Life, and I am involved in being part of shaping and building of a caring and supportive community in the faculty.

As I seek to understand students’ various concerns, I also help champion their well-being by providing guidance and referral to helpful resources.

In addition, I also coordinate various programmes for students including Deanery Connect Sessions and Meditation Sessions.

The Deanery Connect Sessions serve as excellent opportunities for students to get to know the Deanery members better as well as to provide valuable feedback to facilitate positive change. 

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is a place where we foster supportive and caring relationships and build bridges between both students and staff.

Therefore I hope you would contact me if you feel you need someone to hear you out (I can be reached at faspyyi@nus.edu.sg or 6516 7274).

In the meantime, have a great semester ahead!

Best Wishes,
Ignatius Pang, Student Support Manager

ARTSay!: Feedback Unit for FASS students

ignatius Announcements, Wellness

One big component of lifting your life in the NUS is to alter bits of it. ARTSay! is bent on tackling your concerns and providing a convenient channel for creating change.

ARTSay! believes in

Calling out your problems
Having some potential solutions
Asking other actors for assistance
Not accepting “no go” without asking “why?”
Giving you information that will help you foster change
Enhancing your voice

Recently, upon learning that NUSSU wishes to garner students’ views about CORS, ARTSay! invited FASS students to comment on a Facebook page about CORS. One student lamented that CORS does not record students’ results for major exams that were attained before they enrolled in the NUS. Hence, to take modules that have pre-requisites, some students must apply for exemption although they qualify for the modules. CORS thus may inconvenience such students. To widen ARTSay!’s reach, it consulted students’ opinions through other means like the SMS. It subsequently reported relevant remarks accrued from the various sources to NUSSU. This input can inform any discussion between the Administration and NUSSU regarding CORS.    

Your opinions can contribute to CHANGE.

ARTSay!’s e-mail address is feedbackproject@fassclub.org. Say to us your concerns, ideas and questions now!
