8,000 students graduate from NTU this year
By Rekha/ Jeremy Koh
SINGAPORE: This year's graduating cohort is the largest ever from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
The 8,000 students include those from the pioneer cohort of the School of Art, Design and Media, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences.
Singapore's President, SR Nathan, who is also the chancellor of NTU, attended the convocation ceremony on Thursday.
NTU's president, Su Guaning, said the university will be addressing the future challenges that it will be facing at an upcoming workshop.
His comments followed Education Minister Ng Eng Hen's recent observation that NTU should seek to distinguish itself in some fields, to be among the world's best universities.

370 solar eclipse enthusiasts in Singapore stay indoors due to rain
370 solar eclipse enthusiasts in Singapore stay indoors due to rain
By Jessica Yeo, Channel NewsAsia
SINGAPORE : 370 Singaporeans gathered at the Singapore Science Centre to catch the solar eclipse on Wednesday morning, but they ended up staying indoors because of the rain which resulted in poor visibility.
10 per cent of the eclipse could have been seen in Singapore between 8:41am and 9:43am, with its optimum position at 9:11am.
The next eclipse is expected on 15 January 2010, and Singaporeans will be able to catch 30 per cent of it.
But Singapore will have to wait until 2019 for the annular eclipse if residents want to see the moon's shadow totally cast on the sun.
"The eclipse is caused by the moon casting a shadow on the Earth and this time round, the path of the shadow passes through the densely populated areas in China. Singapore happens to be literally at the fringe of the activity," said Dr Chew Tuan Chiong, CEO of Singapore Science Centre.
