新年寄語
親愛的同學們：
在我今天接受任命正式成爲新加坡南洋理工大學校長之時，我祝所有南大的學子在新的一年快樂健康。我希望2018年將會給你們帶來成就與滿足。
能夠加入你們共同爲這個偉大的高校奉獻心力是我巨大的榮幸，它代表了我一直堅持珍視的價值觀——教育、學習、探索與創新上的卓越；對社會的持續影響；全球參與；提升人類處境；以及奉獻我們的社群。
作爲今日南大的學子，你們通過你們日常的一切行爲在定義與創造著南大的節奏、生機、步伐與發展。作爲未來的領袖與全球公民，你們將深遠的影響著人類的生存處境與21世紀的發展軌迹。我期待在這多元與富有生機的大學環境裏與所有才華橫溢並且具有奉獻精神的同學們一起共事。你們的學習經曆與校園生活能夠得到回報，均衡健全，並且讓人滿意，對我也是非常重要的。我也希望，無論你們在南大本科生還是研究生，這段經曆都會打下你們和南大一生聯結的基礎。
在過去的幾個月，我展開了一場聆聽之旅，有幸在會議、活動與不同場合認識了諸多南大學生，校友與大學的成員。未來的幾個禮拜乃至幾個月裏，我會繼續參訪我們多元與富有生機的大學，希望借此了解你們的思想，觀念與對大學的期望。
自從幾個月之前我得到任命的消息傳來，我的妻子Mary和我被你們熱情友好的祝福與歡迎深深的感動。我們結識了非常多的新朋友，並且和南大與新加坡的很多昔日好友重新取得了聯系，他們當中有很多人我們已經認識了超過25年。在這個美麗的校園，我們如今也建立起我們的新家。
我們期待著在南大校園與新加坡的諸多正式與非正式的會談、活動中與你們會面。我也滿心期待與你們共事，一起推進南大創建知識、分享知識、造福新加坡與整個世界的任務與使命。
新年快樂！

President’s Message to Students
Dear Students,
As I begin my tenure today as the President of NTU Singapore, I write to wish you all much happiness and good health in the new year. I hope that 2018 will bring you great achievement and fulfilment.
It is my honour to join you in service of this great university that stands for all the values I hold near and dear ̶ excellence in education, learning, discovery and innovation; sustainable impact on society; global engagement; improving the human condition; and dedication to our communities.
As NTU students today, you play a pivotal role in defining and creating the rhythm, buzz, pace and evolving history of NTU in all of your activities. As future leaders and global citizens, you will have a substantial impact in influencing the human condition and the course of the 21st century. I am very much looking forward to the privilege of working closely with the highly talented and dedicated cohort of students in this diverse and vibrant university community. It is very important to me that your learning experience and life on campus are rewarding, well-balanced and satisfying. I also hope that your time here as undergraduate, postgraduate or professional students will lay the foundation for lifelong connections to NTU.
During the past few months, I have had the pleasure of getting to know many students, alumni and members of the university community on various occasions, including at meetings, events and special retreats organised around campus and across Singapore as part of my ongoing listening tour. My visits to various units across our diverse and vibrant community will continue in the coming weeks and months, so that I can benefit from your thoughts, perspectives and aspirations for the University as part of my extensive listening tour.
My wife, Mary, and I are touched by the warm reception and friendly welcome you have extended to us since the news of my appointment several months ago. We have made many new friendships, and reconnected with a large number of colleagues at NTU and in Singapore, some of whom we have known for more than 25 years. We have now established our new home on this beautiful campus.
We look forward to visiting with you in a variety of formal and informal gatherings and events at the residential halls, cafeterias and President’s Lodge, and around campus and across Singapore. I also look forward to working with you to advance NTU’s mission of creating and sharing knowledge for the benefit of Singapore and the world at large.
With best regards
Subra Suresh
President
Distinguished University Professor
