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.

Tessa is a third-year undergraduate majoring in Geography, with minors in both Global Studies and GIS. After spending the past semester on exchange in the US, she is excited to be back in Singapore and spend her time in Tembusu.
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 new 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 discovered a love for all things outdoors while in the US - hiking, camping, skiing and national parks 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. Her door will always be open to anyone and a cup of coffee/tea will always be guaranteed!
