Purpose, Mindset, and the ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ Advantage
From Lecture Halls to Real-World Insight
For Chong Zhao Cheng (Zack), undergraduate life at ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ was defined by a community of lecturers and peers who went beyond teaching — they guided, collaborated, and supported him through projects and shared learning experiences. Their encouragement helped Zack understand that discipline and consistency extend beyond achieving good grades; they build a mindset rooted in analytical thinking, growth, and readiness to tackle challenges — qualities he continues to rely on in his professional journey today.
ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ, for Zack, was more than classrooms and assignments. Balancing academic commitments with participation in events, workshops, and competitions gave him valuable exposure to industry practices. These opportunities, coupled with early networking experiences, taught him how to transform classroom knowledge into real-world insights.
More Than a Degree — Discovering Purpose
Zack’s time at ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ reinforced that a degree is not merely preparation for a job, but a journey of self-discovery. Through academic rigour and diverse extracurricular involvement, he cultivated resilience, adaptability, and the confidence to embrace unexpected paths in life.
Looking back, Zack recognises that what he gained was more than technical skills — it was a purpose-driven mindset that continues to guide his decisions and career direction.
Staying Connected: The Lifelong ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ Network
Now a proud member of the ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ alumni community, Zack values the shared identity and global connections formed through a network of more than 90,000 alumni across 125+ countries.
He encourages fellow alumni to stay connected — by mentoring students, participating in alumni activities, or sharing their own stories. Your journey, like his, may be the inspiration someone else needs.
