NUS College (NUSC), the honours college of the National University of Singapore (NUS), has announced the new Tan Chorh Chuan Professorship and the Richard C Levin Professorship, in honour of two distinguished academic leaders who had significant influence in shaping pedagogy, advancing knowledge, and inspiring critical thinking.

Named after former NUS President Prof Tan and former Yale University President Prof Levin, the professorships are the first to be established at NUSC and celebrate the former presidents’ visionary leadership and dedication to innovative education.

Prof Tan and Prof Levin were also instrumental in the creation of Yale-NUS College, on which NUSC’s heritage is founded, and which inspired the reimagination of a rigorous interdisciplinary education that bridges Eastern and Western educational traditions.

In announcing the new professorships, NUS President Professor Tan Eng Chye said: “These professorships recognise two outstanding and visionary academic leaders – Prof Tan and Prof Levin – for their unwavering commitment to academic excellence and deep passion for driving innovation, inspiring students, and advancing knowledge to solve the problems of tomorrow. Their legacies will continue to influence and shape the future of NUS College.”
