Congratulations to our Vice Dean Associate

Professor Paulin Tay Straughan for her

appointment as a Nominated Member of

Parliament

Vice Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) Assoc Prof Paulin Straughan has been appointed as a Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP). Together with the other eight appointed NMPs, Assoc Prof Straughan will serve a 2 1/2 year term.

On her new appointment, Assoc Prof Straughan said: "It is a tremendous honour to be nominated by NUS and I am thankful for this privilege to serve."

Drawing on her experience as a sociologist and as a Vice Dean at FASS, Assoc Prof Straughan will speak on issues affecting families and youth. She hopes to raise the issue of how young people can be continually engaged through other means besides the Internet so that they do not get disenchanted with the system.
