Ethos
Tembusu College’s motto The Home of Possibilities, means we value the development of each individual according to her or his own path through life. At the same time we are a learning community, which seeks to give students an intense experience in a nurturing environment. The college administers (and awards certificates for) the prestigious University Town College Programme (UTCP), which augments students’ regular degree programmes by emphasising breadth, critical thinking, and exposure to inter-disciplinary thinking. Our curriculum includes both seminars and out-of-classroom learning experiences.
The college is not themed. Diversity is an important part of our ethos, and we offer learning opportunities across a broad spectrum of interests. We do, however, have particular areas of strength, which are reflected in the backgrounds of our faculty.

In this interview with Ariel Schwartz, (http://www.fastcoexist.com/3025921/check-out-these-post-apocalyptic-fashions-perfect-for-a-post-climate-change-world?) Young speaks about her Apocalypse Project -- part of which was conceived, and exhibited at the Art, Science Museum, during her tenure with Tembusu College.
Catherine is an artist, scientist, designer, explorer, and writer whose work primarily explores human perception and its relationships to memory, creativity, and play. Her work combines the arts and the sciences to create stories, objects, and experiences that facilitate wonder and human connection. As an explorer and advocate for the environment, she believes that storytelling, interdisciplinary collaborations, and firsthand experience will spur human beings to mindful action. She is currently doing a residency at the Mind Museum in the Philippines and can be found at http://theperceptionalist.com/
