You know its SMU when they move less than 15km away from one point to another in style. Yes, its SMU.




Introduction

SMUve is the Symbolic Move from Bukit Timah to the City Campus. The historic once-in-a-lifetime event marks a rite of passage. SMU has come of age, and now rightfully takes its place in the City as the Business university of Singapore.

The move will be marked by a colourful and energetic procession down Orchard Road, an event of ambitious proportion that is even more remarkable in that it is student organised.
