In "Alumni events"

The Hon Sui Sen Memorial Library (HSSSML) has been an integral part of BIZ life for 33 years. Named after a former Minister for Finance, HSSML has seen generations of students gather in it to study for exams and put their heads together to solve business challenges. The void deck under the library synonymous with rag float construction and a rehearsal space for the annual Rag and Flag performance. The library itself also houses a rich collection of management, business and finance books, journals, many of which are written by our very own Profs.

This November, HSSML will be undergoing a major renovation to create new teaching and studying spaces for our students.
