The three Yale-NUS College presidents—Professors Pericles Lewis, Tan Tai Yong and Joanne Roberts—all lived on campus in the President’s Apartment, situated above the library in the East Core.
The apartment was richly decorated with 15 paintings loaned to the College by Mr and Mrs Hogi Hyun. Mr Hyun graduated from Yale University in 1985, going on to work in investment management throughout Southeast Asia. The paintings were mostly by 20th century Asian artists and feature a variety of portraits and landscapes from the region.
As well as being the President’s home, the apartment was also used for official functions and more informal gatherings of students, faculty and staff.
Filmed in March 2023, the event seen here was a social gathering and networking session for Yale-NUS faculty and visiting faculty fromYale, including Dr Marvin Chun and Professor Woo-Kyoung Ahn. The event was hosted by the College’s final president, Joanne Roberts.
We invite Yale-NUS community members, past and present, to collaborate with us to make these initiatives truly special.
