Almost every week, members of Tembusu College are invited to meet and chat with guests – both local and international – through a variety of hosted events. There is a huge diversity of backgrounds amongst our visitors, who range from politicians to diplomats, artists, writers, poets, and academics. Select an event category on the left to find out more.
As a Residential College, residents of Tembusu College live and learn together with their peers under the same roof. Integral to the learning is the University Town College Programme (UTCP) where residents read five Seminar-style Modules over their two year residency.

Rui Wen is a third-year Psychology student with a minor in English Language and Linguistics. She loves connecting with people, advocating for sustainability and wildlife conservation, and dreams of making mental healthcare accessible for all.
Over the past two years in Tembusu, Rui Wen has immersed herself in Tembusu’s vibrant culture. She served on the Shan House Committee, championed wildlife conservation with tWild, gave unwanted clothing a second life with Thriftbusu, helped Tembusians achieve their baking dreams with tBakes, and formed close bonds with her floormates. Her greatest takeaway from Tembusu is the friendships she formed, and she hopes to help Tembusians create tight-knit communities.
You can find Rui Wen running, cycling, spotting wildlife, hunting for vintage treasures, and solving NYT’s Daily Puzzles (Crossword and Spelling Bee are her favourites). She is also a maximalist and enjoys decorating her room with trinkets. You’ll often spot Rui Wen enjoying early breakfasts in the DH or indulging in desserts – chocolate is her weakness!
As a Residential Assistant, Rui Wen prioritises fostering a strong community spirit and is always ready to offer a helping hand or a listening ear. She is excited to meet and form meaningful connections with fellow Tembusians!
