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.

Tessa is a fourth-year undergraduate majoring in Geography, with minors in both Global Studies and GIS.
Tembusu has been a big part of her undergraduate experience at NUS. Tessa was an active member of both the Alumni and Education Working Groups, while also being part of the executive committee for tBakes and tAKE me out. She hopes to continue to support the Tembusian community through her role in the Residential Team.
Outside the classroom, you can often find her trying out new recipes in the kitchen and enjoying her favourite desserts. An avid adventurer, Tessa has a love for all things outdoors – hiking, camping and skiing to name a few. As a former sailor, she also loves spending time out on the open water and enjoying various watersports.
As an RA, Tessa hopes to play a part in building a strong sense of community amongst her residents – one that is built upon compassion, trust and good food. Now in her final year, she hopes that the college will be a place that all resident can call home, like it has been for over the past 3 years.
Her door will always be open to anyone and a cup of coffee/tea is guaranteed!
