The Singapore Management University (SMU) has appointed Professor Lily Kong, currently the vice-provost of academic personnel at the National University of Singapore (NUS), as its new provost.
Prof Kong, 50, will officially join SMU in September. The appointment makes her the first female university provost here.
Prof Kong feels she can make a contribution in terms of research, insight, and impact on society and community, as well as in terms of shaping the educational programmes for the benefit of the graduates and for Singapore.
