Creating Impact with Community-based Research
Empowering youths in Singapore, the future role of community hospitals, and women’s sexual health: these were some of the subjects explored by students of the NUS Chua Thian Poh Community Leadership Centre (CTPCLC) in their practicum projects.
Showcased at the recent 10th CTPCLC symposium, these projects affirm the importance of students applying their learning in the local community, and creating lasting social impact.
"The energy and enthusiasm of our students and friends at last week’s Chua Thian Poh Community Leadership Centre Symposium was most refreshing. It was made more memorable by the presence of Minister of State Alvin Tan and our NUS benefactor, Dr Chua Thian Poh. I encourage all our students to embrace and serve the community. Contribute your hearts and talents towards building an inclusive and cohesive society for Singapore and beyond."
“Mental health needs to be a leadership priority that requires the urgent attention of all levels of institutions, because it has profound implications for performance and collective well-being.”
“Our students’ research signals the first essential step in which they have taken to become impactful youth changemakers in years to come.”
