Socials

The Oxford and Cambridge Society of Singapore hosts various social gatherings for its members to network and meet new members. Among others, the New Year’s Drink Mixer and the Whisky tasting provided ample opportunity for the Alumni of the universities to discuss and make new connections.

These more casual events have no speakers or presentations, rather the focus is on the guests, who can talk over drinks or relaxed activities. Promoting social contact among the members of the society, these events are sure to please.
